 Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2003 7:44 pm Post subject: Question for the grapplers |
 |
|
One thing I love about grappling is meeting martial artists/athletes from other schools and disciplines and comparing their skills. It's so amazing to me that I'm only a white belt in jiu-jitsu, but can hold my own against grapplers from other styles, while my brother who does freestyle wrestling can kick my butt from here to Japan! What grappling disciplines do you study "formally" (as in a rank  )? What other grappling sports do you play? Do you crosstrain in any other arts?
I am a white belt (two stripes) in BJJ. I recieved my stripes from Royler Gracie. I also enjoy "no-gi" (submission wrestling) although I haven't had as much expwerience with that. My brothers are on a wrestling team, so I like to pick up stuff from them, and I cross-train in tae kwon do. I have also taken muay thai classes, and when I get older (and can DRIVE) I would love to take that up as well, along with maybe boxing! I'm interested in many different aspects of fighting, as you can see!

| ive got about 4/5 months of experience, lol also 2 stripes (just got it tonight...). I get wrestling lessons from my dad (wrestling team all of highschool and college), which i gotta say is a great help. (Chicken wings and stuff are great when you have em in your guard...requires great leg muscles to hold em there though). heh i do the whole kickboxing thing myself, which i find is the best combination.....it seems natural after kneeing someone to go to the guillotine. Lol kickboxing even has take downs. |
