Hi, I'm Rich and I started training BJJ in June 06 mainly as a different form of exercise and a chance to learn something new. I enjoyed watching UFC as well as local live events. I thought that knowing more about the sport and some of the local competitors would make it more interesting.
I train in a beginer class twice a week for one hour each. I find it to actually be fun most of the time. My biggest challenge is my age. I just turned 53 last week and I have not participated in any organized sports since grade school.
I find that to compete with 20 year olds (even in a friendly, beginner class) I need to rely on my brain more than my braun.
I also need some sport specific training for strength and endurance.
I have been searching the web for several weeks and have tried a few websites, but have not gotten any hits so far.
Anyway, I have commited myself to a year of training in BJJ and will check this site periodically to see if any of the answers I seek are there.
