I'm yet in Brazil. I will be arriving in ATL definitively with the family early December.
I have a Brazilian friend already living in ATL for a couple of years and he practices BJJ in the X3 Sports, I plan to train there as well, because they have a GYM in Marietta very close of my new house.
I'm a blue belt (since 2000, hahahahaha).
How about you?
LOL, everyone has a different pace and life responsibility.
I started in 2011. Purple belt with 4 stripes in Bjj now. I have a Brown belt in Judo. An old back injury flared up and got significantly worse a little over a year ago, so I have done no training worth talking about this past year. I just had surgery to fix the bac problem and I am super excited to get to start training again at the beginning of the 2nd quarter next year.
Hope to see you on the trails!
I have introduced BJJ to a friend of mine in 2003, he is now a black belt... :-)
My work impacted to much my BJJ development for years (too much travels), always stopping and returning, and you may know how returning is hard and painfull. But I don't have high ambitions about belts and stripes, I love BJJ and my main objective is enjoying the trainings, learning new things, not thinking about the life problems and keeping the shape.
I would say that a BJJ training is good as drinking a beer with friends.
OSS!
