The Middle

​Here’s a difficult one, in Jiu Jitsu we have to find a middle ground between being the person no one wants to train with (🙋) and getting run over. Grappling is a part of combat and should therefore carry an element of violence. I don’t find my style of Jiu Jitsu to be any rougher than the Jiu Jitsu I came up doing, but in today’s age, it’s not everyone’s favorite. As someone who people are afraid of I would recommend against such a style. For although it is effective, it certainly limits your training partners. The more flow you have the more people will want to train with you. It may mean taking a beating so you can develop such a style, but you will then have bountiful training partners.
