Been training in Jiu Jitsu for just over 2 months now, my first day in training I went up against this skinny 14 year old kid and within 1 minute he got me to tap, and I'm 23. Jiu Jitsu can kill your ego if you aren't prepared for it
I remember my first day on the matts. It was one of the most humbling and important lessons of my life. I got dominated so badly by a blue belt and for the first time in my life I was shown how vulnerable I really was against someone who was trained to fight. For many, this experience mades them walk away, but for me it made me want to learn how not to vulnerable anymore. Nearly 3 years later I’m a blue belt myself and I hope I already have, or will someday give someone else a similar experience to what I had on my first day and motivate them to learning Jiu Jitsu.
Similarly to Lex, I come from a background of calisthenics and powerlifting, and about two months ago I had my first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. I'm athletic, physically built 190lbs, 6ft tall, 20 years old, and yet none of that matters. I got my ass whooped hard by a blue belt who weighed probably no more than 150lbs and was nowhere near me in raw strength. Arm bar, kimura, all sorts of chokes, you name it - he got me in those positions effortlessly, and I couldn't do much about it. Since then I've gotten better, but every class is an incredibly humbling experience. If you're on the fence about starting BJJ, just go for it! You will not regret it.
Jiu Jitsu guys came into my wrestling room, a purple and blue belt, who never wrestled for an entire year themselves completely fucked my entire team up (we do have many freshman but impressive still) and yesterday I went to their gym to start bjj and the humbling aspect is very true. Found my next new passion
I remember getting manhandled by a bluebelt at an affiliate gym early on in my training, to see someone control me the way he did I knew instantly " Oh theres no fucking way i'm not going to learn this" knowing that blue was the first belt you earned I thought that's such an acquirable skill set to effectively control someone.
Just got finished with my first bjj class. The first hour was cardio and drills focusing on footwork. The second hour was grappling and takedowns. I am now going to pursue private lessons atleast twice a week. Martial arts will now be a part of my lifestyle
How tf does Joe always find a way to end up talking about Jiu Jitsu? That dude was literally talking about technology 😂😂😂

Aikido is the physical representation of how your girlfriend argues.
Aikido is great if everyone is drunk and untrained except you.

I can't believe Daniel Radcliff knows so much about ai and martial arts

Just did my 5th jujitsu class and I got absolutely battered by everyone, I got massively humbled and I love t because it's made me want to get better!
The truest martial art, is and always will be, a duel with revolvers at high noon

Joe did not expect him to say jiu jitsu, judo and wrestling when he asked him what marshal arts he trained after the conversation they just had.
The truest martial art is and always has been jousting.
Who the heck is this dude some engineer dude or mma shit i am so confused who he is and why he wearing a suit its weird when joe wearing t shirt
Karate and BJJ saved my life.
That guys voice is so mundane i literally entered a trance and regained focus on the conversation 5 minutes later...twice
Loved that humbling moment when I first did jui jitsu
Everyone one knows the best MMA is Run Fu lol
