RE: One of the best perks of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: Learning from the best in the game!
I wish there was an all girl team within reasonable distance of where I am. There isn't one. Rolling is not the issue. When the warm-up is suitable for young men in shape (and not little me with chronic pain and stuff) - I just can't survive it. Half the team are blue-belts and while they're happy to teach, they also come to train. So... yeah. :(
Ahh I see what you mean! Yeah many schools do an all women's self defense class. @bjjworldtraveler here on Steemit runs a women's self defense program and it's awesome to see all the ladies training together.
Maybe you can find that somewhere near you.
You think I haven't looked? Closest is an hour away by bus. I can't do that with fibro.
@techslut Yeah, the warm ups can get pretty intense. In my group, our coach normally lets one of the higher belts take charge of the warm ups, and depending on who does it (it varies day to day) you can get anything from a nice dynamic stretching and mobility warm up (the mildest and gentlest workout), to crazily athletic warmup-thons that include stuff like handstands, cartwheeling, jumping forward rolls or army-style warmups where you have to carry your partner.
Oh Gods I hurt just remembering it. My current personal trainer has trouble believing I could do 20 pushups, 20 sprawls and 20 sit ups one after the other. Stupid bloody fibromyalgia!!!!!!
