Anyone here into bjj or even traditional? Or for that matter any relevant martial art? In not a body builder. Have no desire to be. I still lift heavy but my heart has always been in rolling. Wrestled in school but didn't take it seriously til in was 20 and I met a marine who opened a small school in my town. That was neatly 17 years ago. What you into? Belt? Tourneys you won ECT? Last tourney was naga in 2012. I'm starting back into it next week.

I trained BJJ for almost 3 years. I was a 2 stripe blue belt. Competed quite a few times. Took 2nd place at Naga in the beginner division as a white belt. It was a hell of a division had to win 4 matches to make finals won 3 by submission 1 by arm bar 2 by kimura and the 4th by points. Got nervous in the finals and was tired and got submitted I was pissed. Next time I entered intermediate won my first match. 2nd match I made a mistake and got my elbow dislocated trying to twist my arm out of a kimura. The dude just twisted it hard as fuck at the worst possible time. Never competed again after that and prob 6 months later I got caught by the weight lifting bug and changed to just lifting. Still love BJJ as a sport tho it's great very very mental as is weight lifting.
