How learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu changed my life. I'll be honest with you, before starting martial arts, I used to walk the streets and feel anxious. Every male I walked by that looked bigger than me, I felt intimidated. I felt like if an altercation happened or I needed to defend my loved ones, I had no idea what to do. Doing BJJ for 3 years now and sparring men twice my size, I know multiple submissions and my legs and arms have become weapons. When you do any form of martial art, you'll be humbled from day one. You have to leave your ego at the door because you will be beaten, you will be bruised, and you will be forced into submission by other men. Doing BJJ has made me a more humble person. I look at fighting and confrontation in way now, and I don't underestimate anyone. It's the ones you least expect that are the most dangerous. BJJ is also one of the first things in my life I stayed consistent with for a long period of time. Previously, whenever I started something and it got tough, I would just give up. Not with BJJ though. I started off by sucking eggs just like everyone else, getting submitted every single session, but I still kept at it. I'm not a black belt by any means, but the level I'm at now compared to 3 years ago is insane. It taught me one of the most valuable lessons in life: if you stick at something long enough, you will get better and you will start seeing results.
