What are your short and long term goals in learning Jiu-Jitsu? Short term goal is to reach blue belt...long term maybe a amateur MMA match!
How has Jiu-Jitsu effected your life?  Jiu-Jitsu has improved my discipline and show given me confidence to handle tough situations.  I enjoy the individual nature of training and of the sport.  All my life I played team sports, and now jiu-jitsu is me verses my training partner.  I am into the feedback that I receive from training...hope you follow me on this.
