I'm helping out in spreading the word on this Grapplethon 2. Even though, again, I don't know the person that I'm helping out to support, I know that I am doing this for a good cause, and that I will at least gain experience from this and get to know the Jiu Jitsu community better. From the last Grapplethon, I was there for over an hour, since I had to leave early.
It was a great experience that put tears in my eyes, because it was a bunch of strangers that was helping out a member of the Jiu Jitsu community. That is more than Jiu Jitsu, that is a community helping out others in need.
I made several friends. I got to experience rolling with others from different gyms. I was learning different tactics and styles of play. I keep a database in the back of my head of what these people do when they roll, so I have a better understanding on how to adjust next time or for competition. Anyhow, this event is affordable, you can gain experience from this, learn, and help someone out all at the same time. It's purely a "WIN WIN" situation. OSS!!!
