Anyone else here train or compete in Brazilian Jiu - Jitsu? If you do where do you train? Do you train Gi or No Gi?
And for those of you who don't, maybe rolling around with me would get you motivated to try BJJ.

I train at Gracie Barra I train both gi and no gi and compete whenever I get a chance

This guy right here. No gi exclusively so far have always felt that it translated best to mma and put my focus there. Haven't competed in about a year but will again at some point.
Nothing like being choked with your own gi or swept by your belt

It took reading these posts to remember what a gi is. I remember going to a karate summer camp at 7 or 8 years old. At the end they gave out all kinds of awards to the kids. Unfortunately my award was for dirtiest gi. Im guessing I spent most of the time getting my ass kicked and rolling around in the dirt. Sorry for going off topic this just brought up some old memories for me.

I trained with Benny Meng he didn't teach jj per say but his own style of self defense, striking,kicks,grappling, holds...I would describe it as a mix of kung-fu/tae kwon do and jj. He is world renowned one hell of a shifu. I would say rolling with you Sister would be a once in a lifetime experience. I would like to have some direct jj training it is such an effective form of ma, usually when a guy is on top of you, you think your done,but jjers are so strong on their back. I could say something else but I will stop myself

Probably wont be looking for a tournament till the spring. In the process of getting ready to move and saving to move so unfortunately I won't be training mma or bjj till January but I've already got a sick gym lined up and will be back in the thick of it before long.
Not sure my jiu jitsu is quite on the level of the worlds yet I've done a naga and a Europa that had damn tough competition.
