Okay I have been training muay thai for about a month and a half now and I really like it. Most of the people at my gym also do jui-jitsu and they convinced me to try it. It may be one of the hardest things I have ever attempted just between me and whoever is reading this. I have done other Martial arts before, I did Karate for about 2 1/2 years as well as Akido for about a year but none of those compares to jui-jitsu for me. I'm not saying one is better than the other I'm saying it is much more difficult for me to grasp the concepts than other Martial arts I've done. Even muay thai I understand even though it is extremely technical as well. I just think it will take some time (A couple of months) To get used to all of the grips, rolling, flips, hip thrust, hand placement, etc etc that comes with just being a beginner. I will say that it is enticingly fun and even though I can't do much I enjoy it. I learn from Diego Saraiva, He is a pretty cool teacher very laid back and likes to have fun but he's also very good. There are a lot of higher up belts in my gym but they told me not to focus on belt but the basics for now. Unlike a lot of other martial arts schools you can't really judge how long it will take you to move up in belt, you don't just automatically get it depending on how long you've been there you have to understand a lot of concepts before getting promoted. I will keep going and try to get better right now I train 5-6 days a week. I dont know how long I can keep this up or what my real goal is whether its fitness or one day competition but for now it just makes me one thing happy!
