-------------------------------------------- BJJ 2018.07.15 21:34:44 CEST -------------------------------------------- This week I had my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) class. This is something I've wanted to learn for the past years, but I've never been in enough shape to attend. To be honest, I'm not in shape rig now and the first class showed me exactly that, but I'm definitely better than one year ago. I think I've mentioned it here already, but I lost more than 50kg (110 pounds) in the last year. I'm not in shape and lost a lot of muscle fat besides the fat, so there is a lot of room for improvement. I can however do one hour of exercises and not pass out :) About BJJ itself, the first class was overwhelming. There are just too many things to learn, from basic etiquette on the mat (how to greet people, how/when to ask questions, when to talk, how much resistance to employ etc.) to the martial art itself, and learning everyones' names. There is so much going on and so much to pay attention, it's hard to keep focus. I just have to take things little by little. I really liked it and tomorrow I have my second class. |
