I have taken up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(BJJ) for about the last 4 months and it has done wonders for me. My energy levels are higher, my mind is sharper, and my confidence is better then its has ever been. Not only its a nice break from my day but it has become my second passion in life. 4 classes a week hour each is not a bad investment in one's self.
- mathattack 15y agoThe beauty of jiu jitsu is you can visit new academies on business trips. It's a social sport.
- dudurocha 15y agoI'm taking classes too. And in the last couple weeks I've been off because off classes and overwork. Maan, this is bad. I need to get back. And about BJJ, I'm really enjoying it. Its wonderful how its making me more confident and active.
- DTrejo 15y agoDo you have any concerns about hurting your hands? (I'm guessing you are a developer). I'm interested in starting BJJ this summer.
- knodi 15y agoThe way I think of it is that I can't live my life in fear of what if I hurt my hands or "what ifs". Just live and do what you feel like doing, be a kid again.
- DTrejo 15y agoI totally get that — just curious about what kind of precautions you take, or if you've had any issues / avoided any. Thanks!
- knodi 15y agoDo yoga, lots of it. Like 30 minutes a day. Don't wear knee pads or ancle pads they will get you hurt more. Being flexible is the best way not to get hurt and just don't force anything just flow. Flowing will allow you to control the pace and allow you to tap early (and tap often). Also avoid rolling with meat-heads.
