Couldn't find a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or even Jiu Jitsu specific thread on here so thought I would start one.

So how many BJJ practitioners we got on here?

I started a few weeks ago as have friends who do it in both Gi and No-Gi, to my surprise was awarded my first stripe the other day, I wasn't expecting this till well after 6 months.

My nephew went to his first class at the weekend, and loved it.

It's got me thinking about giving it a whirl. I've always held off starting anything due to working shifts but might see what I can do, as long as they're OK with me having to miss weeks here and there.
I miss weeks at a time, which is annoying but shifts come first.

Trained many years ago with Mauricio Gomes, got my shoulder pulled apart during class so left it for a while.

Trained on and off since then with Roger, Victor and Braulio but finally gave it up due to the increasing costs, 12 month contract terms and mandatory Barra Gi purchases.
I train under one of Rogers black belt students Kevin Capel.

Yet to meet Roger.
