After nearly 15 years of following MMA I’m finally getting physically involved.
I’ve found a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in town that looks really decent. I’ve always wanted to learn the basics of this incredible martial art and the health benefits are compelling as well.
Overall it should be very positive. I’m looking forward to it and will surely have much to say about it as I progress.

Get ready for a life changing experience. I ask you not only to learn the movements, but the philosophy of the art. This will take time, and I hope you continue beyond the “this is cool!” stage.
Remember, strength only works so long as you are stronger than you opponent.

I took Brazillian Jiu Jitsu for about a year and I absolutely loved it. The day I really took off was when I finally listened to what the teacher kept saying about stop wasting energy. In Jiu Jitsu you rarely have to force anything. There is usually a much easier way to overcome your opponent than brute force. I could wrestle for hours without breaking a sweat and putting people into submission. It also trancended in to my every day life. When I stood up I stood up in Jiu Jitsu form. When I opened a door I tried to find the point on the door that took the least effort to get it to open. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

I am about to join up and start to learn Brazillian Ju Jitsu. I have searched around and done some research and have desided that this is the ones for me. I have found a place that appears to be quite good. I want to be pretty fit before I join up and was wondering if any one had any tips for me?
