Mat Rat Comic
Filed Under Uncategorized
I’ve been using this blog as a kind of sounding board; a way to get what’s inside my brain, out, so I apologize if sometimes things are disjointed and all over the place, that’s basically an insight into the inner workings of my brain–sad huh?
Once the West Side Classic Tournament is completed and I have some time, I would like to dedicate some of my attention to getting the Tap or Die company off the ground. I’d like to do the whole T-shirt thing, but I want it to be much more than that. One of the ideas I had was to do an on-line comic book featuring some of the jiu-jitsu characters I’ve created like the TOD Squad and also MatRat (a rat who discovers jiu-jitsu and how it changes him).
I’m posting the mission statement I wrote for Tap or Die when I first started this blog as a reminder of where we’er going:
1. Tap or Die will make cool shit for jiu-jitsu guys/girls
2. Tap or Die will represent jiu-jitsu
3. Tap or Die will always be anti-meat-head
4. Tap or Die will respect technique first and foremost
5. Tap or Die will always support humble fighters
6. Tap or Die will not follow the pack
7. Tap or Die will promote jiu-jitsu at all times
8. Tap or Die will be respectful, but never afraid to choke a mofo
9. Tap or Die will only employ jiu-jitsu practitioners
10. Tap or Die will win by submission, not by points
