What do you want out of Jiu Jitsu?

[Doctor Gonzo]

I don't even know how to answer my own question, I wan't my black belt and that is a long long long long long time away, maybe you have more clear ideas on what you want from Jiu Jitsu.

I want fun, improve my mind and body, and to meet new people. Some self defense more or less too

I wanted a hobby that I could be excited about, that allowed for constant learning, that I could share with my kids and that my wife appreciated because it brought more positive than negatives.

That's what I went into it for.

Now, I just want it...I just want jiu jitsu. It's not the only thing I think about, but it certainly goes through my mind on a frequent basis.

I enjoy being creative, competitive, more confident, healthy and a better problem solver. I very very very much enjoy helping others feel the same way. Lifestyle for the win.

when i realized i didn't wanna go the rest of my life having the last active thing i did be high school basketball. jiu jitsu is fun, relaxes me, and i can do it forever.

I want to be in shape, have fun, and know some self defense. Also I feel like our team is very tight knit, it's like we are a family by trainning together and going to competions.

 

[mikecello]

I just want to study the sport and the art, I don't know. It's fun and it keeps me in pretty good shape. My girlfriend does it to protect herself because she goes to school in a rough neighborhood.

 

[HomerPlata]

To arm myself with enough knowledge to end up life as "the dangerous old guy that could fuck you up, homes".

[curb1850]

Stay in shape, something competitive, teach the kids, and clear my head at the end of the day.

The ability to fold people up like a Craftmatic Adjustable if need be.

 

[Oldguy]

I want to be different than other people my age.

P.S. And be able to fold people up like a "Craftmatic Adjustable if need be".

 

[td82394]

I want a black belt like most everubody, and I also want to increase my human potential through martial arts as well as compete and win.

How old are you?

Haha.

I do it because I've always loved martial arts, and BJJ is one of the most respected, while remaining quite rare.

I like what it does to my mind and my body, from the slow but sure progress toward a six-pack to the constant mental challenge of learning new techniques/variations.

 

[koolinkunming]

Always been interested in martial arts and like the technique, style, and beauty of it. And I like the idea of being able to choke someone out or making someone quit if I have to, although I plan on never using it.

Plus, just before I turned 33 I kept getting these visions of myself at my last breath before death, and that kinda bothered me. Mid-life crisis thing, I think. This distracts me from that.

 

[Bathwater]

I wanna pwn noobs.

i think staying in shape and having fun while doing it is most important to me. lifting weights is boring, jogging is boring, swimming is boring, but there's never a dull moment in bjj.

one thing that i did not go into bjj wanting but certainly ended up with is a feeling of comradery. i've been training for a year and a half now and i've become friends on some level with so many cool people. some guys i just talk to in the gym, some i might get a bite to eat with after class, and some people come over at least once a month for a mma event or something.
