After going to Gracie Barra less than 3 months I am starting to realize many of my health goals, and I am gaining and awareness of balance along with a peace of mind that I had not anticipated. The balance is part physical, and part mental. As I move physically I have a greater sense of body awareness and, balance. The mental part is a greater peace of mind. I am not nearly as stressed as I used to get, and when stress does occur it has much less of an effect on me than it used to.
This time last summer I was walking on two cains, using a walker, and only able to shop in stores with the aid of a motorized cart. After a total hip replacement I was concerned about training. I could not find any information on others that had done Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with a total hip replacement. My other concern was my age. At 55 I wasn't sure if I would be able to do this. On a leap of faith and much research I picked Gracie Barra over other schools due to the structured training plan. The concern and caring of the teachers. and one thing no other school had, a suspension floor that reduce the impact by 20 percent or more. I am happy with my results and progressing very well. I look forward to a long journey with the school, & I highly recommend them as a great place to learn.
