JiuJitsuPatricia Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hello Nerds! My name is JiuJitsuPatricia and I'm new here. My sister(SandyLion) told me I should join this place, since I am a nerd, and do fitnessy(is that a word? it's like a nickname for the lochness monster who's in shape) things, so I did. As you may have guessed from my very creative username, I do Jiu Jitsu (of the Brazilian variety). I've done martial arts since I was a kid. I started with Judo, but eventually got bored of that, so branched out to traditonal jiu jitsu, boxing and muay thai. From there I delved into MMA, had a few fights, and retired from that because I got to many concussions. Somewhere along the way between Judo and the end of the MMA erra I started BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and that is what I've stuck with since. It's gentle(relatively) on my broken body, but still insanely challenging and gives me an outlet for my competitiveness. I've had a lot of injuries along my journey and my level of fitness recently hit a new all-time low. So my goals are as follows:1. Not be in the worst shape of my life when I turn 302. Properly rehabilitate my injuries(primariy shoulder, but also knee and hip)3. Once 1 and 2 are complete, compete again.4. Maybe do one of those adventure race things like the spartan race, warrior dash, ect ect. I'm not really sure what else I should put here, so i'll stop now. Looking forward to "meeting" all you lovely nerds. 1 Quote My First Quest Link to comment
