Jiu Jitsu
I train at Rantoul Jiu Jitsu, located inside the Forum Fitness center in Rantoul. I could not ask for a better group of people to train with. If you are ever in the area, I encourage you to stop in.
Jiu jitsu completely revolutionized my life, from my physical attributes to the way I think. I joined the sport to learn to defend myself (and beat up my friends), which it certainly taught me. But the biggest thing the sport has taught me is how to be mindful.
You don’t realize how much of your life you perform mindlessly, not paying attention to what you are doing or how you are doing it. To see results in Jiu Jitsu, you are forced to be constantly mindful, and I have watched this translate into other parts of my life I never would have imagined. I brush my teeth differently because of jiu jitsu. I work out differently. I learned how to develop solutions to problems in a completely novel way.
