Brazilian jiu-jitsu

Grappling practice used as training, stress relief and humility

Grappling practiced with full-resistance sparring, which is why it doubles as conditioning and as an unusually honest feedback loop. People in this directory describe it as the part of the day that empties the mind, plus a social structure that makes hard training non-optional. Requires a gym, and a tolerance for losing constantly at the start.
