Huge congrats, ninjaz! Karl Erik’s brownbelt rank is exclusively NOGI (10P) yet he managed to become the NAGA European Champ, in the GI He also started out strong in the NOGI expert division, but made a slight tactical error against a really solid and experienced opponent, which cost him the match. His opponent went all the way to the finals. Small margins at the higher levels, these things happen. Anyway, extremely proud of you all!!
Repost @10pbergen "The art of fighting, without fighting. I am not fighting you, I am fighting me through you. All you do is present a challenge for me to challenge myself. " Heard this quote the other day, and I had to write it down. When we compete, we are not really competing against our opponent but against ourselves. We are competing against our negative thoughts while trying to do high-level problem solving.
You all did that yesterday and levelled up in experience
Let's use this to get better!
