Jiu Jitsu is my passion currently, I really haven’t been taking classes that long but it really gets me going.  Not only is it really fun, I get an excellent work-out and also learn to protect myself.  I think of it more like a game that you play.  If you are very good at it, it will start to look like poetry in motion.  The movements of someone who is a black-belt is almost effortless and very smooth to watch.  Despite what you might think it’s a very gentle sport that anyone can do.  I really encourage women to give it a try, this will help in situation where they are being atttacked and overpowered by a male counterpart.  It’s so practical in everyday self defense that both police and military are taught this art.  If you are a person who just wants to exercise or maybe try something new i say give this a try.  I’ll keep practicing and let me know how it goes.
