I have been looking in to schools to start my training in BJJ. So if anyone recalls my first post, " large and in charge" lol I'm overweight and had some trouble convincing myself to find a place to train JJ. I was just working on my striking in my basement on my heavy bag. To make a long story short I did the free trial that a lot of places have these days.
My biggest fear was people staring b/c of my size and no one wanting to roll, but the guys in the morning class were super cool. The first day was just basics , some side control drills, and today the school was more of a open mat. I was given the chance to roll with a blue belt so I hopped on it to tryout my skills (which is only hours on hours of video watching that you guys post and on Youtube) against a gentleman about my height 6'3 but he was only about .......... maybe 155lbs. He insured me my weight wasn't a problem. We rolled and I had a blast, so stoked. The only thing I'm upset about is that I waited so long in life to start training. Looking forward to the rest of my trial period and then becoming a permanent student. .......... Thanks for listing
