IWITW,

Just checked out your last couple of posts on this thread. I agree with the others in that I think you handled the recent sitch with your STBXW the right way. I also agree with your take on the dating issue. I've had some opportunities to date other women crop up recently and I just backed off completely for the same reasons you outlined. As much as I'm craving some female companionship I know I need to steer clear of that stuff for the time being. I'm not ready emotionally for any kind of R right now not to mention that I need to keep a clear head, focus on my kids welfare and get through the financial negotiations on my D.

Regarding getting back into bjj, good for you! It's funny you mentioned that because I have been thinking about looking into bjj myself. Either that or km. Here's the deal: I have been thinking for some time about a martial art that I can get S10 involved in for self esteem/character development. (I did Judo as a kid but I think bjj is better.) I'm thinking both S10 and I could do bjj together and it might help jump start an interest in sports. Then there is km. I've been thinking about km mainly for myself, for a couple of reasons, including the fact that I may wind up having a confrontation with OM in the future (of his own making, not mine). I'm 6-3, 250 lbs and supposedly he's slightly bigger than me and was a helluva wrestler in HS. I'm no slouch- I'm in good shape and not afraid of this punk- but I do watch UFC and see what these wrestlers can do once they get you on the ground. I think that km would probably have similar benefits for my S10 as mentioned above plus I understand it is much easier to master than bjj. I've heard that despite most fights going to the ground, bjj is overrated outside of competition and that if you need to stop a fight in the real world, km is the way to go. What are your thoughts?
