Discussion Wednesday – September 30th, 2009

Hey Guys,

Its discussion Wednesday and I wanted to use this video with Jeff Glover and Robert Drysdale because everyone here at Capital Jiu Jitsu started doing jiu jitsu for similar reasons as these great athletes but, some have a different reason.

Case and point, I have been fascinated with martial arts since I was in the first grade. I remember being a ninja for a few Halloweens and just liked jumping around the house, watching kung fu movies all the time but, never could take a class because I came from a poor family.

As I grew up I began reading books on martial arts and going over the age old, “which martial art is better” but, it wasn’t until I joined the US Army that I really felt at home with Jiu Jitsu. It was during basic training I experienced combatives week. We learned jiu jitsu and I still remember every technique that I was taught and after I was discharged it just kept this fire inside me until I came to Capital Jiu Jitsu a little over a year ago.

So, whats your story?
