My son, the one eyed one, started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Law School after he lost his ROTC commission after the accident.
He "rolls" competitively in Virginia and is working his way up the BJJ belt ladder.
He loves the competition and the odd comradery of folks who do the sport. No one can believe he is a lawyer.
I will tell you, most fights will end on the ground. You do not want to be there with someone who knows how to work the ground game. They know stuff I was never taught.
I, btw, loved boxing. Still do. My Dad boxed at West Point and I sparred, never fought without headgear, growing up in SoCal. I was too big as a 13 year-old...I'd have gotten destroyed by the men in my classes.
