Judo was my thing. My brother was national champion. Then he wrestled. He flipped his way to being state wrestling champ. The surprised look on his opponents faces as he tossed them over his shoulder was priceless.

I've trained off and on since about 2003. Probably more off than on. I quit when I went to law school. I rejoined, and then quit again 5 years ago. I've been regularly training for the last year. I'm pretty much terrible, but I'm a blue belt under Dustin Denes and I train at Bodyfit on 39th and Main.

I trained at Powell Sport and Combat in Columbia for a couple years while I was at Mizzou. It was a great gym, but more MMA focused. I did some MMA but mostly no gi jiu jitsu.

Powell's was bought out by American Top Team, and that gym has got to be one of the greatest MMA gyms ever. Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, Mike Chandler, Mike Whitehead, Jake Hecht, and other fighters got started there. They would not remember me, but I remember them. Several really great jiu jitsu guys came out of there too. The Lenon brothers among them. Wade Rome owned the place and Keiko Frances taught. That was really a special gym.

I trained for one semester in law school with Damian Hirtz. He was an excellent teacher, but life got in the way.

I train at Bodyfit now, and it is just about the perfect jiu jitsu gym. I've trained off an on with these guys for years. The teachers are brown belts....but they are fantastic. I would put them against anybody.

Yeah, but your jiu jitsu is only verbal.

If you don't, I simply can't recommend it enough. It's deeply powerful in what it does to your mind and spirit. I figure there have to be at least a few former wrestlers in here, and if there are... you guys should do it, especially. It really helps with takedowns and general acclimation to a 200lb dude on top of you trying to choke you out or break your shoulder.

If I'm the only one, I guess this can become an AMA until I shut it down due to disinterest or giant pictures of french fries.

I got my blue belt in college. Trained off and on here in kc at KCBJJ. Great group over there and getting better by the month it seems when I get the itch and pop in. Head guy Jason is great as well. I would recommend it. Life gets in the way for me I dont ever seem to have the time to devote to it. If you want to get any good at it you need to be training 3x a week. Any less and its a waste of your time and money. BJJ is fantastic for your health. But you could also argue its not lol, look at the black belts in bjj theyve all got shoulder, knee, wrist, finger problems lol fantastic sport though. really fun. Glad youre enjoying it. Are you located in KC?

I'm in Los Angeles, so it's a Mecca for top guys. I got my friend into it last month and then the little bastard was surprised to find Rickson teaching his seminar out of that gym for a week.

I'm a blue belt, go about 4-6 times a week. It's pretty much all I do for physical activity, unless I'm out of town or the gym is closed. Yes, it is excellent for both physical and mental health. Ironically, it fixed my rotator cuff injury I got playing basketball... then proceeded to beat the shit out of every other joint I have.
