  • I've been training for three years in BJJ. It's a really beautiful and peaceful art that plays much more to technique than strength.

    I find it makes me much less angry and much less willing to be violent. Also, it's great for your health.

    Search different gyms in the area and sit in and watch a class or two in each before you decide which is right for you. Make sure the people training there aren't bullies or jerks and that they go over techniques instead of just throwing you to the wolves.

    BJJ is a more-than-worthwhile experience; it's like physical poetry.

    i have a school that looks good ,,a friend attends it ,( but i haven't talked to him yet )

    is it very demanding in terms of being in shape ... can u ease into it?

    you can snap someone's arm
    without being in jiu jitsu

    but.. as you wish
    it does sound fun..either way

    good luck to you and your future in arm breaking :D

    BJJ has been my favorite part of watching MMA so far.... it would be fun to give it try....

    a while ago, i was researching some kickboxing gyms, which also offered some BJJ and MMA lessons. i wish i had someone to go with though.... when it comes to exercise, i need lots of moral support! :o:)
    ~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~
