For the most part I'm really tired mentally and physically with competitive shooting. Knowing that I spent a few weeks thinking about something to replace it in my life. It needed to be something physical, able to do in the daytime, competitive and doable on a regular basis.
After going through quite a few old and new activities I narrowed it down to rock climbing or brazilian jiu jitsu. I decided on brazilian jiu jitsu.
I went to a few academies and picked one to which I've now been 4 times. I enjoy it but I am very sore and due to my time away am essentially starting from scratch. I last did bjj with any regularity in 2009. The saying about doing something is about riding a bike again, right? Well riding a bike is elemental compared to the intricacies of bjj. Thus I am not just metaphorically hopping on and riding around hahaha.
Right now my biggest deficits are 1.My lack of physical fitness for grappling and 2.My schedule right now with IDPA and USPSA nationals occurring right as I've decided to do this change. Come the second week of November I'll be able to start going to the daytime class 4x a week and then issues one and two will quickly fade.
And I'll still have my weekends and evenings free for other goofing off!
