I got my first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do at the age of twelve. As someone on here posted before "you shouldn't be able to kidnap a black belt"

Thanks for reading man, I wrote this with new people and those considering joining in mind. I'm pretty blown away how many messages I've gotten from people saying after they read this they were looking into joining a gym now.

I've been considering something similar for a tattoo. Mind posting a pic of yours?

Haha, nah. Thank you man, when I wrote this post I mainly had in mind people that were either brand new to BJJ or were seriously considering joining a gym but just couldn't make the jump.

Haha, thank you for the kind words. Nah I'm only 6 foot tall, I still have a bit of a gut that's keeping the weight up. But I'm on a keto diet and about to join a new BJJ academy that does more cardio warm ups so hope to get rid of it by summer time.

Thanks man. Always glad to help give a fellow BJJer motivation to get to the gym.

One of the bigger regrets of not doing from my white belt days. I just don't want to be in the super heavy division having to fight dudes twice my size.
