Started taking Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes 3 months ago and it's the most humbling physical experience of my life. Getting submitted by people half my size because they have technique and I don't is a real ego check.

Anyone else training in martial arts? What style?

BJJ for 2 years now. Blue belt. The first 6 months are just surviving. Then things start clicking and it becomes the most addictive physical activity possible.

Muay Thai kickboxing. The conditioning is brutal but the striking skills are incredibly practical. Great stress relief too — nothing like hitting pads after a bad day at work.

Took taekwondo as a kid and recently started again. The flexibility requirements keep me honest about stretching.
