I’m fairly new to jiu jitsu, I’ve been going for about 3 months and absolutely love it. Ive noticed how much easier it is grappling with my inexperienced friends since I have been going. It’s insane how often inexperienced people give away their back, don’t protect their neck, and completely gas themselves in the first minute. I’m a pretty small guy but fairly stocky and can hold my own fairly easily against my friends. But every time I go to the gym more times then not I get smashed, and it’s really humbling in a way. It shows me where I really stand on the art. I’m glad to be apart of the community and am enjoying my journey so far!
