Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

I am now into my 3rd week of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and I have to say it is extremely fun and interesting. I now start training at 5:30 and train Muay Thai until about 7:00, and then from 7:00 until 8:00 I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I am learning a lot of cool things in Jiu-Jitsu and many useful offensive and defensive maneuvers. One of the reasons I really like Jiu-Jitsu is almost every time I have a training session, I learn something new. It is also really useful and a great thing to know.

Introduction to BJJ

Yesterday was my first day that I began to start training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This is another martial art that pairs extremely well with Muay Thai. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that focusing more on ground game and defense, sort of like wrestling. There is a lot of technique behind it and the abilities you learn are amazing. I am extremely excited to see my skills and technique improve and learn a new martial art.

Side Project

This is a book I have just picked up from the library called The Fundamentals of Fashion Design by Richard Sorger and Jenny Udale. This book has nothing to do with my path of Mixed Martial Arts, but it has a lot to do with a side project I have going on with two of my friends. Together us three are planning on starting our own clothing line, and with the help of this book and independent research I believe that I can learn multiple techniques used for fashion design, marketing, production, and more. I am really excited to see where we can take this clothing line and to find out what information this book holds for me.
