A visit to BKKBJJ – Bangkok Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club
// August 18th, 2010 // Outside Venture, Sports
One of the beautiful things about Bangkok is that there is something different around every corner. On this occasion the VENTURE team found themselves at the Bangkok Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Club, and we got a chance to participate in our first Jiu Jitsu class. Not only was it a grueling physical effort, but we quickly found that it was no sport for your simple dumb brute. Every movement is purposeful and strategic, with difficult technical maneuvers to match. All to often i would catch myself wearing a look of bewilderment on my face, as if i was asked to fight of bear and program the VCR at the same time. Unlike any martial art I’ve ever taken before, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is something you really have to jump in with both feet, and literally get elbow deep in the action. A real challenging experience.
