    Seems like it's the next fad fitness thing to do after sledgehammer fitness, crossfit and whatever. Like I see morbidly obese people talking about how much a "killer" they are and how "alpha male" it is to roll and I just know it's bullshit, I've heard the same shit before with strongfirst slamming sledgehammers on tires and walking barefoot.

      yes it's IST approved Black person, it's a sport.
      bjj is fun and great cardio, if you are interested in it give it a go.
      I started it to improve my conditioning, for self defense and most importantly because I missed competing in an actual sports rather than just lift weights.
      now I do both, just have to be careful with injuries, do proper warm ups before and stretches after, and preferably do some type of yoga for mobility.

      didn't it become a bit hyped with joe rogan and jocko and whatever the frick podcaster but then faded away a bit?

      I forgot my main point is that all these alpha males shits wash out eventually but they guy that "just" lifts weights gets stronger and more muscular every year while the guys constantly doing "alpha male" shit like hitting the sledgehammer on the tire while barefoot bearcrawling in the park in timed interval circuits with kettlebell clean and jerks look at the exact same as they started. The worst thing is that you have a limited amount of time to dedicate to exercise and now you waste it on memes with the lame of excuse of "it's cardio." Like yeah, lifting weights raises my heart rate as well. That's cardio too.

      Thank the Joe Rogan/Black Rifle Coffee crowd.

      But jokes aside BJJ is extremely humbling, got folded like a mat by a 18 year old first time I did and I had lifted and down Muay Thai before this.
      Everyone needs some grappling experience, if not BJJ, some wrestling or judo.

        Why are you bringing up age? The only thing that matters in BJJ - and by extension every other martial art - is weight, strength and technique.

      Walking barefoot or zero drop or minimalist shoes is not a meme. Shit has helped me in multiple ways. Ankle very weak for 3 years. Start minimalist shoes. Shit doesn't crack anymore, haven't rolled my ankle in a year so far. Calves very thick and strong.

        is vans minimalist shoe since the sole is straight?

        • 1 year ago

          Nope, needs to have a very thin sole. I'd say 10mm sole is the max sole thickness, to be considered a minimalist/barefoot/zero drop shoe

    Bjj is for homosexuals. You hug other dudes and roll around on the ground.

    No. MMA gyms in general are shit on so many levels that's it's like dealing with estrogenic boomers in muscle suits that can fight. That being said BJJ has always been the most chill. Kickboxers are mentally ill.

    Is it rude to ask for focus on stand up starting matches? I'm interested in taking BJJ but I want to learn some basic takedowns instead just ground shit

    • 1 year ago

      bro if you just want takedowns what you are looking for is judo not jiu jitsu.
      judo basically ends after you get the guy on the ground, whereas in jiu jitsu the match is just starting.

      >BJJ is extremely humbling
      indeed.
      plus there is the socialization aspect of it.
      kids growing up closed in their rooms (basically IST), 24/7 without any sort of discomfort. put them in bjj and they'll change as a person altogether.
      voluntarily putting yourself in that situation is extremely good.

    if you want IST's approval for anythingyou'd probably wouldn't last in BJJ, people will give you shit like just form mentioning you practice (like we see ITT) and if you value others' opnions at all that will eventually get to you. Try it out, if you like it, do it; if don't, don't.

    it's gay when it gets into hyopthetical and unreliable nerd shit
    it's based when it's just simple physical submission grappling

    been training for little over 7 months and it's absolutely amazing. I've also lost over 25 kg in the meantime, mostly fat, while remaining relatively lean and improving my cardio greatly.

    It's A+ of a sport, and I can't recommend it enough for everyone. Hopefully I'll see you in the mats, frens.

      how often do you do bjj and how often do you work out with weights?
      i started some 4 months ago and switched from 5 days to 3 full body workouts a week. bjj I'm doing 4 days a week.
      Also, do you track calories? if so how did you macros/calories change after starting bjj?
      thanks fren

        I started with 5 days a week, 3 days gi (kimono) 2 days no-gi (just a simple rash guard) but now I've reduced it to 4 days (2 gi - 2 no gi) and lifting 2 days (upper/lower) allowing 1 full day for rest/recovery.
        I tried tracking calories but I am sadly working in office so it's hard unless I mealprep which consumes a lot of time so I didn't do it very often. However, I'd try to stick to 2 meals a day, as much as protein I could, some rice, some potatoes, etc. but I definitely ate the occasional cheeseburger too.If you are more strict with the diet, as long as you allow for plenty of protein/carbs, it should have even better results.

    I’m a big fan. BJJ has a lot of depth as a hobby compared to just showing up to the gym and lifting over 10-20 years (which I did before starting BJJ). It definitely keeps me motivated to stretch and try to be a functional human instead of trying to be Rich Piana doing 30 hour arm workouts. Having some social interaction is also nice.

    It's good cardio.
    Been going for a few months now.
    Last 2 weeks I've done both 90 minutes of BJJ and ~90 minutes weightlifting each day, 6 times a week. No injuries. Wouldn't recommend this if you're starting out though, takes a few weeks for your body to get used to BJJ.

      Unironically this. Brute power always wins in the end. If you get usurped by "technique" then you weren't strong enough.

        negative.
        this claim is just so wrong and absurd.
        there are some very, very extreme cases that are exceptions to this but in general a strong guy with no technique will get absolutely fricked by a very slim guy who weighs a lot less than you.

    It's great exercise, great way to meet some cool guys, great way to release pent up anger and energy. Got a lot of things going for it I would definitely try it out.

    BJJ is gay as frick and probably one of the most useless self-defense martial arts you could possibly learn.

        Knowing both or any form of grappling + boxing is ideal. There’s so many times where I’ve seen a street fight begin with one person trying to slam the other

    it's fun (if you like being hurt and exhausting yourself). It gives me a reason to lift weights which helps focus my training. Minimal chance of CTE. Would highly recommend

    I honestly can't think of any other way for a grown adult to get a social life other than to do BJJ.
