My experience has pretty much been wrestling in high school and a bit in college. I miss grappling and have started to investigate bjj places near me. Hoping to get started soon. Any suggestions in what to look for in a school?

Hi Sean. In my experience a good school builds you up slowly and does not throw you in at the deep end. Having said that, find out what your local people are saying.
Also, be wary of instructors that talk too much!

Thanks. I will definitely include online reviews in my consideration.
-
Nice. Are you a pure grappler or does striking/kicking martial arts appeal, too?
-
It’s going to be my pleasure to muscle you down and demonstrate my strength, skill and stamina first hand

Mostly a grappler. I’m into strikes but not so sure kicks. I’d need to see. Why you ask?
-
Just interests of mine, also. Getting a balance of skills is useful, I think.

Well yes. Good point and something to consider. Need to see what all it taught at the schools considered

Got into martial arts after watching a fight in high school between a guy that took martial arts and a jock boy. Watching how easily the martial arts kid controlled the jock was so impressive and erotic that I was hooked.
-
That element of physical superiority and control is, I agree, a major turn on. Martial arts men have skills and know how to use them; the best can play with the enemy before ending conflict.

Yep training makes a huge difference. At this point in my life, I don’t expect to be in a fight but more so want training for fitness purposes and to learn more advanced grappling technique than I got in HS and college on wrestling team. Also the idea of punching has an appeal as well. Seems liberating. Honestly the entire fight scene is erotic for me in various aspects
-
Totally with you on that.
-
And martial arts is totally empowering and upskilling. Liberating? Hell yeah!
-
-
Yes I’m sure it is liberating. I can’t wait to get started
