Anybody in here do Jiu Jitsu?
I've been doing it for about 16 months, with MMA rotated in (striking, no-gi). Wondering if there were any other planeteers who did this.
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 think he’s being sarcastic. Stemming from the joke “what does a vegan crossfitter talk about first?”

If they do, they aren't BJJ guys. You learn pretty damn quick that 1) you're not tough, and 2) you have NO idea who is.
Once you're arm-barred by a 120 pound girl, your concepts of tough and weak change pretty drastically. It's about who is skilled and who is not. |

Both my sons 15 & 18 have been Black belts for many years. My oldest is a Black belt in 2 forms of karate. Both took it in a real registered gym both certified oldest certified in weapons as well which is very interesting. Your comments are so true it provoked me to reply. 1) you're not tough ... this is so true when in a tournament or a big gathering there is always always someone that can kick your ass and further there is somebody there who can kick that persons ass. Some people eat drink breathe training there are also people naturally tough. 2) you have NO idea who is. This one is even more true than the first. I've been to a lot of big tournaments with my boys.. NYC Boston to name a couple and let me tell you in tournaments with 500 plus people there are always surprises. It might be the 13 yr old kid or the 65 yr old guy. It might be the middle aged lady who looks like the only thing she could tangle with is a buffet. The handicapped person the guy with the cane. So yeah your so damn right. My now 15 yr old was a Black belt at 13 he started a kiddie program at the gym when he was 6 and just kept on going. When he was 13 we used to have fun at parties if someone snickered that he was a Black belt. We'd say hold out your hand let my son grab your hand he knew every way to twist bend or simply move your hand/wrist/knuckles til you basically would cry uncle. Woman would fall to their knee.. guys would just scream swear words and say let go damn it. And yes my 13 yr old knew his limitations due to size/age. But working on someones hand was always a fun eye opener to the hands owner no matter the size. For both my boys i was always the home practice dummy before tests. Allowing 30+ moves alone on my hand in an hour would not help me to improve my writing skills. I do not want to end on that note. My kids grew up in the Gym and have become polite respectful individuals. My wife and I also had something to do with that I'd like to think. But my point is training if taught right makes you a well rounded person. Its good physically and mentally. The health benefits and being able to defend yourself are the Bonus. |
