Jujutsu and Muay Thai

By Daniel Miessler on February 10th, 2008: Tagged as Martial Arts

So I finally did it. I found a place to learn Jujutsu.

The school also has Muay Thai, which is a bonus since that’s my second favorite choice for martial arts to learn right now. And they’re taught one right after the other so I can do both in one night.

Win.

So yeah, I’m enthused. I had my first night last thursday and I’m still sore. My first impressions are that Muay Thai is so much more intuitive to me than Jujutsu with a gi. But I guess that makes sense.

Looking forward to continuing.

    That's great! Are you studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or classical Japanese? JJ/BJJ, strangely enough, is actually quite counter-intutitive, and that''s where the beauty lays.


    I've studied Aikido in the past and have been training in BJJ for the last ~6 months. It has a steep UN-learning curve, that you'll no doubt discover and has some really amazing plateaus in knowledge and skill that reveal themselves subtlely over time.


    It's fantastically addictive, as you have discovered. It's become a huge part of my life.


    I keep a blog about every class, book, DVD, injury, etc. that has to do with my training.


    Have a great time with it!
