When I first started I always heard people talk about how its a "lifestyle" not just a sport or hobby. This is SO true!
Jiu Jitsu is life changing:
I plan my day around class...
My relaxation time is training...
Ive gotten strong and flexible...
My fingers are callused instead of having my fake nails on....
I have bruises and torn muscles (but I keep coming back for more)
I bow to my own carpet ;)
I hip escape in my sleep...
I day dream about sweeps and submissions...
My teammates are my brothers...
My son is now my friend and one of my favorite training partners...
And I have found an amazing guy doing what I love...
I've had a pretty rough 18 months with some things in my personal life and Jiu Jitsu has been a huge help getting me through.
