Time travel back to my second year in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, prior to my life with a Datsusara Light Battlepack.
It’s 2008 and I’ve just started training. My coach started selling official gym bags. Prior to this, I was using an old karate duffel bag, so to have a new bag, with our gym logo on it, and made by Ringside no less, I was pumped. Or as the guys from Scramble would say, “pumpitude levels were off the charts.”
The bag was large with lots of compartments. I could fit a TON of gear in there including all of my mma / boxing gloves and pads, as well as all of my BJJ stuff.
