New Nervous & Nowhere to Learn

Author	Comments
escapizm Newbie 2 posts	Wednesday 30th March 2005 at 12:52 I’m contemplating taking up Ju Jitsu as means to stay fit, I’m also interested in the ‘chess like’ competitiveness the sport gives. I’m a big fan of UFC but aren’t far from ready to have ligaments etc “snapped like dry carrots”. If attend would I be expected to fight and if so after how long. Don’t get me wrong I would probably enjoy the sparring but it’s a bit unknown at this stage having never done any martial arts. Can any one suggest a reputable place to train in Middlesbrough, I contacted the BJJA and they gave me an address, I wrote to the guy but got no answer. Any feed back would be appreciated. :-)
