Just Another Day in the Office

People sometimes ask me, “What does a a typical day in a gi business owner’s life look like? Is it really as cool as it sounds like? Do you get to sleep in late and train whenever you want?” Well, here you can read about a day in my life. You be the judge.


Monday. The day started off shitty. My son decided suddenly that he didn’t like Fruit Loops any more and asked for a Pop-Tart. Pop-Tart? What? I don’t have Pop-Tarts. I had just spent over four dollars on this extra huge family size box of cereal and he wants Pop-Tarts. Get outta here! My daughter was angry about something I did or did not do, can’t remember what it was. She is always angry. Both of them knew I had a lot of work to do so they got a yelled at before it was even 7:30 AM.

It was an extremely important day; we had to push out a new women’s gi design and time was ticking fast. I got my two designers on the phone and told them the usual, “Make me something good.” The designers mumbled something about direction, that they need direction. I was like, “What? You’re the designer, you know what I want. Make it!” They kept arguing with me and it really escalated because you know, I’m the boss here. They started suggesting the regular gi design ideas: samurai, octopus, skull and some other nonsense. So I yelled at them and called them morons, idiots, imbeciles and entry-level clip art artists among other things. I know that this always makes them work hard so I kept my tirade going for a good 10 minutes threatening to fire everyone if I didn’t get a design in the next hour.

Then I hung up the phone, got me a fresh cup of coffee and dove into Facebook. It’s always good to spend time on Facebook admiring other people’s lives. Some of my friends have such perfect lives. The food is AMAZING, the husband is the most AMAZING and the training is always AMMMMAZZZINGG! Damn it.

In about an hour I opened my email and guess what! There it was: THE email with an attachment. I knew I could squeeze a good design out of my employees! It was a picture of a carrot, an organic carrot to be specific. First I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not but the more I looked at it, the more it made sense. I’ve seen gis with all sorts of crazy designs so this is no different.

It will sell; I know it will. At this point I had nothing else so it was either a blank gi or the carrot. I went with the carrot. I stamped APPROVED on the design and thanked the designer for doing an outstanding job bringing my vision to life in such a vibrant manner.

It was a tremendously successful day. I felt accomplished and started counting the money I would be making when the new batch of gis drops. Did I train? No, I skipped that; grabbed a big bag of potato chips instead and plopped myself on the couch. Great day it was!

Happy April Fools Day!

Judge Judy knows. Judge Judy would probably roll too. Who would not want to have her as a training partner?

When your training partner takes too long to fix the belt, hair or gi pants.

When your instructor teaches worm guard.

When your training partner gives 100% resistance while drilling a new technique.

When your training partner tries to submit you after the time has run out.

When your training partner talks too long about winning the only match she had at a tournament.

When a lower belt corrects your technique.

When you are about to submit your training partner; he stops and tries to coach you how to finish the submission in order to avoid tapping.

When your least favorite training partner asks to roll.

When your training partners talk about how many gis they have.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Or is imitation the flattest form of sincerity? We’ve come across some pictures where we had to do a double-take. Did the guys really copy jiu-jitsu girls? You be the judge and decide who did it better.

Brute Squad ladies are known for taking awesome pics, no wonder the guys felt left out. After practicing the poses for several days, this is what the Beef Squad came up with for their 15 minutes of fame.

Kyra Gracie and Daniel Strauss pantless, pink masterpieces. The toned legs and gluteus maximus, dreamy eyes, not an inch of cellulite in sight. Who can resist that?

And then there is the boogie man, Dean Lister, who has clearly stolen this little girl’s pose. SMH!

Luka had the double winner sign patented before Buchecha got out of diapers. BOA!

Medals munchies. Who doesn’t like the taste of medals? A reliable source told us that after nibbling on medals, Caio Terra also ate a handful of coins and a car key. Bon appetite!

 Angelica Galvao and Rodolfo Vieira abs show. If your abs have abs, you should be able to walk around with an open gi top. Everywhere. All the time.

Has anyone ever copied you so blatantly? If yes, give them a high-five!
