Boxing for Life at DCMMA
Why Boxing?
There are the usual answers to that question:
- Fitness
- Competition
- Self-Defense
Personally I think the best way to answer that question is: it begins with a genuine interest and love for boxing as a sport and as a tradition.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Derby City
I’ve been teaching BJJ since 2005. I started teaching beginner classes for my instructor and have been teaching since then. Now I teach a combination of beginner, advanced, kids and self-defense classes.
Over the years I’ve learned that there really isn’t a typical Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ for short) student.
Other sports require a very high level of natural athleticism or certain natural gifts to be successful. For instance in basketball if you aren’t tall, it is highly unlikely that you will achieve any serious success. However, BJJ allows people of all shapes and sizes to succeed using technique.
This is why in BJJ you can see a 150 pounder beat a 250 pounder. In competitions there are weight classes which match up opponents fairly.
