Black belt in Jiu Jitsu

Posted by Chris Inch on Aug. 25th, 2006

I'm well on my way to getting my black belt in Jiu Jitsu. Actually, I attended my first 2-hour class last night with Darryl from work. I'd like to start taking a martial art, but after trying Jiu Jitsu for the first time I'm not sure that it's for me.

We did a quick warm-up and then some punches and kicks. Then we did some breakfalls and holds. Some of the holds were pretty cool but it would take a lot of practice in order to whip those out in a real fight. It seems as though Jiu Jitsu spends a lot of time on the ground, and I would rather take a martial art where you spend more time on your feet. I think I will probably try a night at Kung Fu next. Keep you posted...
