Hello all ,
here is my 2 cents after training in BJJ for 21 years ( getting my black belt in 2014) and competing , and sometimes winning!, at an international and world level. So here goes.....
-What are your goals?
-BJJ will destroy your body if you let it
-If you plan to compete , the level today is insane and you need to be the total package of strength and conditioning to hang with the best. -There are no drug tests as well ,so do with that information what you will...
-Your partners will determine your experience and success
Perhaps someone else can chime in with comparable experience. This is not intended to be rude , but when say a purple belt goes on like they know everything about the sport I tend to listen very critically, success leaves clues , listen to what the top guys have to say about training and competing.
Take care all
