    Do you think MFP is accurate with the amount of calories burned during Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? I usually adjust my time to how many minutes I spent with my heart rate up.

    @computerfox82 I think the MFP estimate is too high, but it can vary so much from class to class, depending on your training partner, how much time is spent rolling, what you're drilling, etc.

    @Matt200goal sent me this great link that you may find useful: http://timbrucejiujitsu.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-many-calories-do-we-burn-in-bjj.html

    Today is the third day in a row I get to go to morning open mat! It's mostly just the guys there, but many of them are really good at rolling with girls so it is fun! This year I will work through my issues with take downs thanks to the concussions and compete again.

    BJJ 3-4x a week. (3x GI & 1x No-GI) I'm about to embark on some kettlebell and bodyweight exercises to enhance it on the off days. It's addicting. And it's hard trying not to want to buy the cool looking GI's as well. lol

    Totally! I NEED the Venum Snaker gi, because I work with snakes and my favourite colour is yellow, but I love in South Africa so the exchange rate is not so friendly!
