We all spend a lot of time sharing jiujitsu, but what other hobbies, interests, or activities would you share with your training partners?
Most of my free time revolves around my kids now, and we spend a lot of time at playgrounds, splash pads, and six flags. I’ve found a lot of ways to have fun there… and I don’t even fight anyone! We recently went to a splash pad and the kids and parents had a blast.
How do you have fun without armbars and chokes?

Question of the Week 🤔
Let’s humble ourselves a bit…
If you had to pick one submission to get caught in every day for an entire year, what would it be — and why?
Drop your answers below. Let’s see who’s embracing the grind! 💪😄

When was the moment that you decided you were sticking around for the craziness of Jiu Jitsu?
For me it was the day after an open mat and I was driving to work thinking about not being able to escape side control the day before. I was so caught up in replaying some of my rolls and wondering what should I have done that I went through a red light! This was the moment I knew I was in it for the long haul.
What about you?
