Jiu Jitsu anyone?

I am a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and, would love to get some workout in while in Negril,. If you have any want to be able to truly defend yourself in a real fight or hoe to diffuse the situation before it happens Jiu Jitsu is the tool... I will be in Negril from the 20-26 and if anyone (women too as my wife also practices) would like a few lessons, tips, or just a good workout on the beach let me know. If you are wondering what this is just type in Gracie Challenge matches into youtube and you will be enlightened about the false hood of many other martial arts in the sense of real self defense.

I have been looking to getting into this actually. I listen to way too Much Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz not to.

gracie!!!! That's a really cool offer...my kids have been doing martial arts and my daughter seems to lean towards ground game... been thinking about getting her into BJJ. Wish we were going to be around.

have a great trip :)

2 of my favorite podcasts. Small world.

Joe Rogan is a great guy , been lucky enough to talk to him on the phone in the past. BJJ is the most complete system of self-defense, the others are good but have major holes when tested on the streets. Jiu Jitsu always wins plain and simple. Again if you are around and see the guy with the big fish tattoo on his back and /or a jiu jitsu shirt on please feel free , always want to try to empower all to not worry when a giant walks in the room but to think ... how interesting...

Best time to start is now. Look into Renner and Ryron Gracie video on how to choose a school. Very unbiased and great info to look at when looking at places. Don't get confuse there is a difference between street and sport jiu jitsu make sure you are getting both or street .

Check out/contact the Yoga place in Negril to see if they have an interest in you holding some classes.

LoL. I love BJJ, Numerous MMA fights prove that BJJ is not as elite as it once was. Royce Gracie proved that a man of normal size can control some of the best athletes in the world. Ronda Rousey keeps it going with her 8 of 9 wins via arm bar. Judo thrown in as well of course. Discipline vs discipline if I could only choose one, BJJ does rise to the top.

Respect and if I was in town I would roll with you.

Ronda is in a class of her own. Unfair.

All mma guys have jits in their arsenal if not they lose. To compare now is hard as the cat is out of the bag so to say and all have some BJJ background, but most top MMA guys compete in the GI still ( Ben Henderson, Diaz brothers, ect) I will say this I have met encountered many that say oh yeah if I was in there(cage, mat ect) it would be done son, they couldn't handle me... lol I take them to a free class and lets just say when a 16 year old 145lb kid destroys a 215lb plus tough guy .... well they don't talk so much anymore. Against someone with no ground fighting or submission training its like playing with a child, very humbling to know what another man can do to you and how easy it was to do done...

I will look into the yoga thing sounds good. Ronda is an animal and trains at the Gracie academy along with other top academies. Cant wait to roll on the beach even if with just the wife ...ok naughty minds keep calm :) lol

Interesting thread :)
