I've started training in the last few months and would like to add some friends who do the same!

    My wife and I both do BJJ. We've been training for around three years now. Good to meet a fellow BJJ practitioner. :)

    I used to do it, but time doesn't allow for it right now. Although I still do traditional jiu jitsu.

    I love my BJJ, just got back from a great seminar with former World Champion Pablo Popovitch. Wouldn't mind having more BJJ friends either.

    I don't do BJJ but I do Kempo Ju Jitsu which incorporates a lot of ground grappling.

    Hope you're enjoying your BJJ - it's a lot of fun.

    I did for many years, got hurt, then moved. I'm actually trying out schools in my area right now to get back into it. Hopefully I'll have a home gym in the next week or so.

    Same here. There just aren't any places near where I live now but I used to be into it pretty heavily 5 years ago before I moved. I even attended a Gracie clinic. Those guys are awesome even if I could never do their suggested juice heavy diet.

    I do! I am a three stripe white belt and I love it. I try to get to practice three times a week (we have a two hour class). My professor just added a class every other Tuesday that is a no-gi light ground and pound type class. We have been learning double leg take downs recently. It is awesome! Send me a friend request. I would love to chat!
