AKA this is the, "I've been practicing Martial Arts for over 8 months now and I figure I'll share it with the class now thread."
I've been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for about 8 months, as well as a stand up kickboxing hybrid that I recently converted to pure Muay Thai.
Did a NAGA tournament back at the end of August went No Gi, came in second in my division 170-179 weight class about 4 competitors so eh.
I find that when it comes to Jiu-Jitsu I've really developed a rhythm where I can't get worn out, recently I had a 6'6 dude go knee on belly and completely wreck my adrenaline, extremely painful to your abs when you got a 260 lbs dude sticking his knee into you. However energy wise I never get tired when rolling anymore 5, 10, 15 minutes - shit an hour and 30 minutes of non stop rolling and I'm fine.
I'm having trouble adapting to the Muay Thai, I'm not used to the purist type of style my new teacher trains, he's all about techniques that are bit unique to me. Some fierce strikes, I was doing pad work with him, I know he wasn't going full force but his knees were very intimidating to me, I never felt such a powerful impact through padding.
Been using thesePage Title - Ironmindfor my grip strength with BJJ, at 167 lbs right now. Some days I find it really hard to get a good grip around them, other days I can do 10-15 reps on either hand.
Anyway this is pretty much my main hobby pastime now, I'm not much of a gamer anymore, figure if anyone wants to talk about it. I spend a lot of time looking up resources and watching videos on technique can share for those that are interested.
