Hey Everyone. I'm always looking for some like minded friends and support on MFP. I do Wado Ryu Karate Ju Jitsu and some Brazilian JJ. Also have a little of a Kung Fu/TKD/ Military fusion style background. Send me a friend request!

Senior in class should be controlling any kind of partner drill. Most places I've been say if a junior student is going too hard, then you need to punish them some. If someone is trying to jump at you full strength then sweep or throw them. Control the session.

I started BJJ on Monday. I'm really liking it so far, but half my fingers have a bad case of mat burn near the fingernail lol.

I started Wado Ryu Karate Jujitsu last October. It's pretty much half Japanese Jujitsu and half Shotokan. It's a really close quarters style (as far as Karate goes). I do an hour and a half on mondays and three hours on thursdays. Classes usually go like: Warm Ups, Stretching, some basic techniques, then we focus on a…

I gotta say you look great. From what I've heard about crossfit, its super intense. Kudos to sticking with it for 5 months

I'm really going to have to look into this

I don't have any specific workouts, but kettle bells might be the answer for you. There are a ton of exercises you'd be able to do because kettle bells are just like ishi-sashi, which have been used by martial artist forever. Here a link to a few exercises.…

Maybe. I don't know about everyone else but I try to eat up the calories for smaller burns, maybe 300 - 400 and under. Once I'm above that, I usually am under. BUT my BMR is at 1900 so, I have a lot of wiggle room.

I can't tell you to much about other Styles of Karate, but I study Wado-Ryu meaning Way of Harmony(or Peace). It came from Japanese Jujitsu and (pretty much) Shotokan Karate. It's a pretty different style because of a few things: We generally fight out of a front stance, Most stances are more natural (not as deep, but…

I really believe for the most part its not the style you practice that matters; its 1. The School you attend and 2. The effort you put into. As long as you find a quality school to go to and put the effort in, you will see a big change in very quickly.

That is awesome. Really makes me wanna train hard.

Pretty much the same as you. I take a multivitamin (nearly) daily and a heart health with Omega 3,6,9 flax and borage oil. I feel like Im missing something else in there. Also, some mornings I take Animal Flex which is like a joint support and lubricant.

Potatoes, Bread type things, and Nuts come to mind first

That's awesome. You must have really made a lifestyle change. Amazing loss, keep at it!

We don't like to talk about it. I had the MFP app a while before I even knew about the forums

How many meals do you eat a day? I know that when I first started doing martial arts again I was eating 2 maybe 3 big meals a day. No breakfast most days. And I was miserable. I now eat maybe 3 small meals and 2 or 3 snacks a day. Also the other day my sensei told us that we should try to eat a snack within 30 mins of a…

Thats amazing how quick you slimmed down. Awesome results
-
Thats awesome! And the view doesn't get much better than that.

I usually do about 3/4s of my time as one of the default martial arts workout on myfitnesspal. Of course if its a less intensive class, I'll clock more. But yeah I'd say clock about 35-45 mins per hour you train.
