I want something self defense oriented, but also something I can have fun doing. I’ll have a good bit of free time this summer, so I plan to devote a good chunk of time to it.

@whiskeytangofoxtrot Go to a boxing gym for striking. Go to a BJJ gym for groundwork. Some places will teach both. You can dabble, or you can spend an entire lifetime focusing on one respective discipline. Have fun.

Will do, I’ll start looking around for places to train. Thanks.

I will say access to quality martial arts training is the one thing I envy city people for (that and more frequent IE meetups)

@whiskeytangofoxtrot my BJJ school offers BJJ, Judo, and Muay Thai classes. Try to find a school that offers more than one discipline like was recommended by the others. Good luck.

Anyone use CBD products with BJJ? I’ve read a lot on it

It's apparently pretty popular in BJJ culture

So is weed in general. Especially among Eddie Bravo types

Sometimes the best marital art is awareness. I used to ride this trolley all the time. Lots of unsavory people hang around after dark as near the Downtown Library.
