Good to hear that you liked it. Yeah bjj/mma/boxing/thai are all workouts. I'm not huge by any stretch and that's why it's easier for me than a big BB. I love bjj and it is expensive, 110/month is a good rate in my experience. It's especially expensive now that I need neck surgery. But I truly love it more than boxing or any other sport. If you can, stick with it and get into different kinds of training like sled dragging and olympic lifts. You can only lift 2x/week if you do a lot of BJJ unless you have amazing recovery and time on your hands. If you do BJJ 2x/week then you can lift a lot more. When learning BJJ it's best to use the gi for a while and also train 4x/week. 1 or 2 of those can be without the gi if MMA/self defense is the goal....The gi builds some good basics and as you get better or decide to compete in no-gi or MMA matches you can lose it.
