What Are my Hobbies?

To say that my love for Brazilian Jiujitsu is simply a hobby would be an understatement. I love jiujitsu, it has been an incredibly beneficial activity for me. Jiujitsu was a tool that God has used to help pull me from depression, quit smoking, and find connections to people I would not have found anywhere else. From the minute I first set foot on the mat, jiujitsu provided me a place where all the stressers in my life disappeared. I have been doing it for three years now, and I plan to keep doing it for as long as I live. Jiujitsu has also allowed me a place to grow closer with my two younger brother, Edward and Immanuel. All three of us love to compete, the photo shown is from my first competition. Competing really brings into hand the discipline aspect of jiujitsu. Every time I go to compete I begin dieting about two months before the competition. This process is known as cutting weight, its actually terrible and I cannot say I enjoy it at all. For the competiion shown above I lost about thirty pounds in the the course of two months in order to make the required weight limit. This weight cutting proccess is not in many sports, but is common in many forms of combat sports.

All in all, jiujitsu has been amazing for me. I love it, it has taught me patience, humility, and discipline. It also keeps me in shape both physically and mentally. To compete effectively I am forced to be felxible, fast, duarble, tough, and strong. While it is not easy I wouldn't trade jiujitsu for any other sport.
