As Kipling said in one verse of Arithmetic on the Frontier..

A scrimmage in a Border Station-
A canter down some dark defile
Two thousand pounds of education
Drops to a ten-rupee jezail.
The Crammer's boast, the Squadron's pride,
Shot like a rabbit in a ride

Regards,
Norman.

I don't really claim to be a BJJ practitioner, Ron. I roll about 2x/month with a couple Gracie purple belts--hardly high level instruction, and my jits is rudimentary, for sure.
