7 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Jiu Jitsu


Listen Later

Two years ago, in the midst of planning a big online event with "getting outside your comfort zone" as a theme, I found myself with an interesting realization: even though I was extolling the virtues of getting outside your comfort zone, it had been a long time since I had followed that exact advice. At the risk of sounding hypocritical, I decided to look around for something to challenge me. I settled on trying a new sport, Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

In this episode, I'm talking through why I joined, why I really appreciate jiu-jitsu, and what it's taught me. I'm also sharing seven things I wish I knew before I started...little lessons that I had to learn the hard way. In particular, I'm sharing some things about about Brazilian jiu-jitsu from a female perspective that may help other women who are thinking of joining.
