I was considering bjj but someone showed me a picture of this dude who got a deep hole in his armpit due to something you catch from rolling around with people on the mat. I'll just stick to keeping my hands and footwork nice.


I never liked BJJ.

Gotta be more to this story. Sounds like he got cut, someone had something he wasnt aware of and/or they didnt clean the ring properly after people sparred.

I remember this photo and I'm certain it was staph.

EDIT: Beat me to it above.

I took up boxing a couple of months ago and it's been great. I'm older than you.

Its a great mental break from just work work work. Gives me something to look forward outside of work besides sitting on the couch. Do what you want as long as it adds to your life. :flabbynsick:

Judo schools aren't near me unfortunately. Mostly only on college campuses. I take Muay Thai now and the sweeps I agree are great. I just wanted to challenge myself with exclusive grappling. I took a semester of judo in college and agree it's a beast.

BJJ was closet thing. I like it. Gets a bit repetitive but anyone saying it's not legit is crazy. But I won't lie it's not hard to knock these guys out since most have no concept of striking.

Contrary to some of those guys opinion it's not the kryptonite to everybody's style that they think that it is. If you know spacing, timing and distance you can very quickly put them in no man's land on your feet.

If you must do karate, do kyokushin

You'll undergo intense amounts of pain. Everytually getting jumped by 7-10 or more people

If you endure, basically next to nothing will phase you:ehh:

If you don't, :lupe:


Kyokushin they say you can't properly defend your face though since there's no head punches?:jbhmm:
