Brazilian jiu-jitsu

I am a beginner so the notes will be of poor quality probably, but I will constantly update it as I learn.

Why I started this?

Self defense/UFC

Why I continue doing it?

They compare BJJ with Chess and I agree partially. It involves understanding of a system, timing, pressure, lot of strategies, setting/avoiding traps, but most impotant of all is problem solving (especially in crunch time, in physically exhausted state).
