TweetIm taking a crash course in BJJ today for a few hours, the host is Ben Baxter. I have allways been kinda interested and figure it will help me alot to become an all around martial artist. I can remember back in the days when you had the upper hand in a fight the other kid would bum rush ya and try to take you to the ground, probally the same thing today. So this will be alotta fun and I wont have to feel like summer just passed me by again without doing something really cool.

I liked the bruises I seen in the mirror and the pain, I felt like I was looking at a twenty something me. matter of fact im still smiling ! That was probally one of the coolest things I've done in a long time, me and this other kid where the only ones from our school that showed (braggin' rights on wednesday), and Ben, and the other kids from the other school where probally the coolest folks to meet. The comaradre was different than at my school, guess cause we where all guys and most of us where all new at this, lotta sweat and testosterone in the air and we were sorta less formal. It was a bro thing, a lotta fun I'll never forget.

I haven't done it in a few years but I did gi and no gi and LOVE IT!!! Gi is frustrating because the more experienced grapplers have soooo many options using the gi. No gi is nothing like gi. I will for sure test your cardio when you get to rolling.
