I should probably post this in bjj but fuck that I'm posting it here so there.

I started brazilian jiu jitsu a few weeks ago, and its made a huge change in my life already. I'm a skinny guy, 5'9 145 pounds and half of my class are bouncers so the sparring is painful at present! I'm not doing this to attract women (I'm thin and 5'9, not getting any women in london unless I win the lottery). I'm doing this for myself. Mainly to see if I CAN do it.

Anyway I guess the point of this post is for any guys in here who are like me, shit at sports in school, underweight, nerdy etc. and feeling depressed about it. Don't let this define you! I don't think I'll ever be able to beat anyone in my class, but I've already started going to the gym thrice a week and regulating my diet. My world has got bigger.

So if you are like i was, feeling bad about yourself and sitting at home thinking too much, don't want to go to the gym cos its boring, I urge you to at least try out a martial art. Any one will do. Go to your local class and just try it. People will be friendly to you and it will open doors that you didn't even know were there before. Even after a few weeks I feel better about everything. I was at the point where I was screaming at teenagers in the street for being arseholes I was so angry (I live in south london, the philadelphia or detroit of England). Now when they dick about I just shrug. Unless someone is directly threatening me who gives a shit?

Anyway sorry for my rambling and incoherent post. I'm going my own way and enjoying it. This is just an idea for any brothers out there who were feeling low like I was. Go your own way my friends.
