slaying dragons

[Casey Dupre]

Almost 40, 5'8", 183 lbs. I trained with SS many years ago and stopped because I wanted to learn BJJ and didn't think I had time and energy for both. I've been out of training for a couple of years now due to life and minor medical issues, and back to working on strength.

I was making decent progress recently, but got a little too greedy and ended up reinjuring my hip/groin. I'm starting over very light and hope to finally get passed this.

Are you still involved in the grand art of Gracie JuJitsu? Does BJJ still consider MMA something of a degradation of BJJ? How far did you go with it?

What were your prs when you did SS before? Welcome.

One of the professors at the academy where I trained is an x-ufc fighter, so MMA was huge there. I didnt train a whole lot of it, I spent the limited time I had on BJJ. I did a few competitions and stuck with it through blue belt. I miss it terribly and hope to continue one day in some capacity.

I cant quite remember my previous prs. I know my squat was just over 300 and I was weighing around 205.

Thanks for the welcome!

Worked out early morning today and felt my hip a little. I'll need to allow for more warm up time if I'm going to train early.
