I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by watching MMA on Spike...

Did it for a few years, about 10 years ago...
Sick fighting style, just about throw away everything I learned before...
Just about.. there's a whole ton of stuff that's missing from bjj, but that's pretty much true of all traditional styles.

No for serious though, I took regular jiu jitsu for long time years back... got up to my blue belt and i won the canadian championships... but like all things I pick up, I quit just as it neared the point of becoming a "serious commitment"

thats cool. i've got 4 guys at my academy who used to wrestle in highschool. you'll do fine especially in stand up. the problem i have with you wrestlers is keeping you guys flat haha

ohh and heres a tip. watch out for your neck. all of the wrestlers here always leave their necks wide open for chokes
