I used to work out at the gym, but I got bored of it, and wanted to do something that would give me some kind of 'skill' at the end of it. So, I looked on Twitter, and found a post about a BJJ class near the office. I had my gym clothes with me, so I popped down for the class after work, and I've been going a few times a week for the past three years. I can have a terrible day at work, and the second I step on the mat every worry I have tends to melt away, if only for an hour or two. It also gave me a great perspective of being "the newbie" again, something I had missed at work at times.

    Yep, probably should've mentioned that above, since it's not a popular enough sport that everyone will know what it is.

I don’t do BJJ but know about it. I really think this is a great sport, if your body is able to handle it of course. It is not just physical, there are a lot of movements to learn and I really believe it is a physical chess game.
