Well you should!!!!
This maybe boring for some of you to read, but i just need to let people know how amazing BJJ is. I am 27, i just started BJJ 3 or 4 months ago. It is a great workout and so much fun. I trained Muay thai, about 7 years ago for almost 5 years. i was looking for something new. something i can learn and have a wicked workout. So i checked out a local BJJ gym. And it has been absolutely great.
The first month was me getting submitted, i didn't care. But once i got my first submission i was on cloud 9. It was all i could talk about for 3 or 4 days. my wife is so sick about hearing about BJJ. I think you will always remember your first sub. But it doesn't stop there, you start rolling with blue belts and purple belts, and you start to see that you can last a little longer before they catch you. I have noticed a huge improvemnet and a few of the blue belts have commented that i am doing very well, and that just fuels my fire to learn all i can about BJJ. I started buying books, dvds, and have a shit-load of vids downloaded on my computer.
I guess the point of this thread was to help out people if they were considering BJJ, you should definetly try it out. I love sports, have played sports all my life. I never even swung my golf clubs this year because i would rather go to the gym and roll. I am not playing hockey this winter because i want to concentrate on getting better. I think MOST of you will fall in love with it if you try it. Thanks for listening.
ps. and now, when the guys get together to watch pride or UFC, they look to me for play by play, and what a guy has to do to finish or defend a sub, its pretty cool
pss, on a side note, if you are a blue belt, never underestimate a white belt, i caught 2 blue belts in armbars in a matter of 20 to 30 seconds. i just fell back into my guard and got them. man was i pumped about that. they didn't seem to impressed. and for some reason my wife wasn't impressed, lol
