Got my first advancement in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

I recently started taking Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and finally received my first stripe for my white belt. My instructor's a godd*mn taskmaster so it feels good to see I'm making some progress. Nice to see all the sweat and blood finally paying off for a change.

What's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Is that like waxing your private parts but only using your bare hands???

yes.

yes it is.


biggrin

It's a martial art that focuses on leverage to submit an opponent through jointlocks and chokes. (ie armbars, anklelocks, leglocks etc.). It's originally a Japanese martial art but was founded in Brazil by Carlos Gracie and later modified by Helio Gracie who emphasized more leverage as opposed to strength.
