Keep it up. IT's not going to be easy but it will be worth it. I recommend buying instructional DVDs too, you can rip them to your computer and resell them when you are done. I think you might also find Stephan kesting's website www.grapplearts.com to be quite helpful. in your BJJ journey. Keep training!
Thanks ehzi! Any DVDs you would personally recommend? I actually already follow Stephan on Youtube, really enjoy his stuff
There are two set's I'd recommend highly:
"Immunity" by Alan Belcher.
https://bjjsuperdeals.com/product/immunity-mma-grappling-5-dvd-set-by-alan-belcher/
It shows a lot of good escapes and defences to the common submissions. It's best to not get that far, but if you end up in a bad spot its good to know something to try and get out
And "the blue Belt requitrements"- by Roy dean
https://www.amazon.com/Brazilian-Jitsu-Blue-Belt-Requirements/dp/B001ADKATC
It's a great coverage of the basics.
Hope that helps. Keep training
Thanks! I will be sure to add them to my ever growing list of BJJ resources to check out haha
