http://dagneybjj.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Dagney's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Training. April 13, 2012. New Best Friend is a Dummy. This is my new best friend, which I have named Jacob, after my nephew. My pull-up bar is named Ellie, after my niece. Keeping these wonderful impressionable kids in my mind as I prepare for swat tryouts provides motivation to push farther. Sorry for the horizontal image. My editing skills are sad. Many many many THANK YOUS! Links to this post. April 10, 2012. This is tough. Training for the swat tryouts is no joke and ...

I Wonder As I Wander. Where I train…. Where on earth are other female grapplers…. Empowering a wounded woman through the art of JiuJitsu. On October 25, 2010 · 8 Comments. Jiu Jitsu can be uncomfortable to new women for many reasons, but one of the scenarios that many don’t even consider is what if that woman that’s freaking out from being pinned in mount had been an assault victim. I’ve read many articles l ike this one. Does it not bother them in the least bit to be that. It’s pretty entertaining...

Shark Girl BJJ: September 2013
http://sharkgirlbjj.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 2, 2013. Big Dude was crushing me. Completely. I was trying to stay alive on the bottom, keeping my elbows in tight. Big Dude was forcing his hands between my elbows and legs. I was holding on tight. Big Dude was crushing my chin to get a choke. I held firm. I didn’t know, but I didn’t have much time. I threw my right arm around his neck. Is his chin really up? Am I really connecting with his throat? I grabbed my left biceps. Am I getting a choke? So, what was the point in choking?

Shark Girl BJJ: April 2014
http://sharkgirlbjj.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. Shark Girl Doesn't Get Lucky. Shark Girl woke up, and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and my jaw dropped in horror. Oh, no! I thought to myself. Staring back at me, besides my drawn and tired face, was a red splotch on my neck. A red splotch! That could only mean one of two things. Hickey. Or rash. It is a sad statement on my life that, when posed with those two options, rash is the more logical one. Way I could claim hickey? Posted by Shark Girl. Links to this post.

Saturday, January 24, 2015. Age is Catching Up With Shark Girl! I am feeling old. It’s not my high cholesterol or failing eyesight. It’s not my kidneyberg. And all that’s put me through.

Shark Girl BJJ: July 2015
http://sharkgirlbjj.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 24, 2015. BJJ: Breaking Down Stereotypes! Last week, I took my son to summer camp in another part of the state. It was at an elite, private school frequented by highly educated liberals. It was tucked away in the intricate byways of a small, rural New England town. 8220;I think we got to turn around, Honey,” I said to Nine-Year Old Son. “We passed it.”. I went a bit further and switched back on the street. It must have been one of the side streets without a sign that we passed. Here I was, a...

http://dagneybjj.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Dagney's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Training. September 12, 2013. Or my lack thereof. There was a time I would have never thought to take up a martial art. I did. There was a time I never thought I would be good at it. I practiced. Now I have skill. And I love it. Links to this post. September 10, 2013. Sabbatical. From this, not training. WELL, I suppose I need to write. My friend Jeannette (pronounced Je-nay) has returned from a short absence. Her game is more like mine, except she is really good at it! Becau...
