I just happened to stumble across BJJ, really. I used to live close by to a school in Bronte, running past it regularly, but it wasn’t until I kept seeing articles pop up that I decided to see what all the fuss was about. When I walked in the first time I was a little taken back by the look of the place and the large smiling man that greeted me (George Atton) but thought to myself, “Well, I’m here now. I may as well try it this one time”.
Three years later, I haven’t really left the mats for more than a few days. I’ve always been one for competitive sports but they were all flawed because they were all winnable. BJJ on the other hand is something, I feel I will never know everything about but I’m going to have a great time trying to.
BJJ has been one of my toughest and most rewarding challenges. Everyday I get on the mats I learn something new about myself and am challenged in ways I could never have imagined.
