I train as well. It’s something that keeps me steady and well rounded on fitness year round. Usually train two days a week and lift three. Running usually limited to warmer months.
I just got into Jiu Jitsu in January. I am going 2x a week (due to work schedule) and lifting as well. It amazes me how much my cardio and core strength have improved since I have started Jiu Jitsu
Used to, then I herniated a pile of discs in my neck and surgery pretty much took away any remaining interest I had in having my neck cranked (or guillotined). I enjoyed the grappling and the general camaraderie at my school though, it was great group of guys and gals.
I was in TKD when I was younger. Been out of it for about 19 yr. Decided on trying BJJ and it was a tough start but great choice. Getting back into it at 49 was challenging, and I received a lot of grief from kids, wife, and friends. Adds a competitive edge to training and well-rounded cardio and strength mix.
Been training pretty seriously for about eleven years. I teach a little and still dig rolling as much as i did in 2007. me getting my black belt in 2013... a good day.
Trained BJJ for about a year and a half. While I’m not currently training, I recommend it for everyone. And I mean everyone. Except for tools with egos but that gets fixed pretty quickly.
