Doubts

Well I've been working on Jiu-Jitsu for a while, but it is still something that I don't feel that training in it for a few hours on the weekend is helping me much. Along with Jiu-Jitsu, I've also been boxing with teenagers and on this I do feel as if I'm doing well in this.

For Jiu-Jisu, I need to find a rolling partner who is just as enthusiastic about Jiu-Jitsu as I am. Jiu-Jitsu takes a lot of time and that is something that most people are willing to commit, I also don't want to become a bother to any of my schoolmates. So for the moment, I'm thinking of taking a break from Jiu-Jitsu and move on up to adult boxing.

This is not to say that boxing is easier, there is a reason its called the sweet science. However, I do feel as if I can drill more and do more by myself in regards to boxing than I can with Jiu-Jitsu. I also came to realize that even though I like grappling and Jiu-Jitsu, I would rather stand up and strike. I also want to do Jiu-Jitsu with no gi, and I can't do that until this summer. The issue of no gi vs gi in Jiu-Jitsu has been in existence for some time now in Jiu-Jitsu, I personally would prefer no gi so, for the moment, I'm probably going to give up Jiu-Jitsu until the summer and focus more on my stand up.

Every thing is still up in the air though, but I'm leaning towards the adult boxing where I feel more challenged than with the teens. This is not to say that I'm the best teen out there, but that I feel better training with grown men because it makes me push myself harder. Plus it feels good to get the better of an adult.

Jiu-Jitsu

Hey well, it's been a while since I posted something but I wanted to inform you all of a great website that I recently found: submissions 101. This site offers a lot instructional videos on not only submissions but escapes, take-downs, and counters as well. Take a look at it, it has a lot of valuable information that can come in handy. Hope you enjoy.

I will be working a lot during the Christmas break. I have done some research but I think that I need to sit down during the break and set a concrete plan for what I want. I have to set a clear goal in mind in order to reach it because right now I have an idea but I don't know how to make it come reality. I feel that if I can refine my idea during the break then I'll be able to hit the ground running come January. I also want to see if perhaps I can shoot a few videos during the break as well.
