Brazilian Jiu Jutsu: Exercise and Hobby

February 20, 2025

I mostly ran in high school and never played contact sports, so Brazilian Jiu Jutsu (BJJ) is very new to me. There are so many aspects to it, with more knowledge than any one person can know, like how judokas and wrestlers have certain knowledge in parts of BJJ that I simply don't have time to learn.

This post is mostly listing down how I've been learning. The best value is obviously going to class, learning, and practicing with people in class. For myself, I try to write down notes, but there isn't great organization to it. Do I organize by date, by moves, by moves and further drilled down by top and bottom position, etc? I also have ton of Youtube links that are in one giant playlist. At this point, I am just hoarding links. I started re-organzing by Moves and by Position, whatever I deem easier for me to find in the future.

I'll create a view with organization that combines my notes and Youtube links togethers, with ways to tag content. It just needs to work for me and the way I consume information.
