So I started doing Karate since 5 years ago. Before that I was not chubby but not fit either. I have cheek fat and my arms, chest and belly have some fat as well. I started doing Karate and my weight went down quick and I notice my face gets leaner and now I have a defined jaw line. I’m not sure maybe just my genetics but maybe you got your jawline from losing weight. 3 years ago met a girl online, dated her and she is my wife now. When saw my previous photos she was quite shocked at the difference. Fast forward now, I don’t have a body builder physique or male mode physique but I do have physique that most contact martial artist have, still have some belly fat but my chest, arm, thigh and belly muscles are thicker without using steroids. I’m 33 now so I already past my growth rate as a man even 5 years ago, but still managed to change drastically.

>I started doing Karate and my weight went down quick and I notice my face gets leaner and now I have a defined jaw line. I’m not sure maybe just my genetics but maybe you got your jawline from losing weight. I was skinny and atheletic type with super low body fat then I didn't have visible square jaw. After that I started eating lot more and training hard, so I did gain some muscle (early newbie gains) but gained fat also. So now my muscles while I could feel them, got burried under layer of fat. People in my tribe don't have strong jaw. It's hard to find them even in the village I hail from, you can find strong built bulky men and women but no strong jaws.

  I see. So do you think steroids contribute to it? It is amazing how hormones can actually change your physical appearance drastically even after someone is past beyond their growth phase. You mentioned chewing gum. I saw these videos about mewing but don’t actually believe that would work.

    Look at Barry Bonds before and after- definite jaw/skull effects from the steroids and HGH.

The bod from doing BJJ kind of surprised me too. It's more than enough to have the post-roll high but what looks back in the mirror is nice too. Unfortunately the better one gets, the less of a physical workout it is. Having a little teenage girl higher belt choke you out 20 times in a row is kind of hilarious. Yeah, another benefit - sincere humility combined with a balanced confidence.
