re: What are the board’s thoughts on Jiu Jitsu for cardio
Posted by Josh Mancuso on 5/7/19 at 7:04 am to MWP
Hey guys, sorry I am just now seeing this or I would have chimed in earlier. My name is Josh Mancuso and I own JM Modern Jiu Jitsu in Baton Rouge.
As far as cardio from jiu jitsu. It's a different type of cardio than running and jumping. I have extremely good muscle endurance. So while I can't run long distances without wanting to die, I can explode decently well for an older guy and I am very durable due to the amount of training I put myself through. I have a very strong static strength. I would say that most all BJJ practitioners would have the cardio to do any sport they want well. Obviously the training would need to be tailored to that other sport for maximum results but I think you get the point.
Physically over the last 13 years my body went from a very squishy 5'9" 205Lb body to around now in the upper 170lb range with a BF% of around 8.5%. This is from only BJJ training, I never lifted weights consistently, I just always got really bored with it. But I do try to eat healthy for 85% of my meals. And I rarely drink anymore.
Lifting weights, running, tennis, whatever. It's all going to be great for you physically if you keep showing up. Which is why people like BJJ. It's actually fun, challenging, and a social experience every time.

re: Can anyone refer me to a true karate school?

At my school we have an easy and up front cancellation policy. Everything is transparent and easily understandable. However, there are many places that do business like what you're describing. Most of them being traditional martial arts academies that focus on children.

As a owner of a martial arts academy, I truly think starting them earlier than 5 years old is a waste of your time and money. They simply won't get a lot out of it. I would recommend some basic tumbling classes until they reach 5 or older. I've had many requests to start them younger but I just can't do it with a good conscience.

In a perfect world I would definitely agree with this, although the fact is that the large majority of any physical altercation will find it's way to the ground very quickly. And, in that moment, the person who is trained in ground fighting will have a definitive edge against the person who does not.
Not to mention we actually teach wrestling and judo based takedowns and takedown defense along with ground grappling.

Hey Tiger2287,
My name is Josh Mancuso and I own and operate JM Modern Jiu Jitsu. We offer both Jiu Jitsu and Judo. Neither of which are watered down, yet still are a lot of fun. We definitely are not karate and of course I am biased but I truly believe in what we teach. We currently have 5 competition proven BJJ Blackbelts as well as 5 Judo blackbelts on staff. We are the highest quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in the Greater Baton Rouge area.

re: Thoughts on BR area Jiu Jitsu gyms?
Posted by Josh Mancuso on 4/11/17 at 6:38 pm to KBeezy
Thanks for all the kind words guys!
I do feel strongly that we provide the highest level jiu jitsu training in Louisiana. I can tell you that we cater to both hobbyist who have never done anything like this in their lives (and are completely out of shape) as well as any highly skilled competition minded grapplers that are looking for the toughest training they can find. We have the highest concentration of high ranking competitors and teachers. Although what I'm most proud of is our diverse and loose culture, it's a place where everyone can truly feel comfortable.
If anyone would like to try our gym out come do a trial. It's $25 and you get to keep the uniform. Nothing to lose.
