Gracie Jiu Jitsu on Biggest Loser

It wasn’t a part of the show, but after one of the guys went home, he started BJJ. I thought it was a cool mention, though I wouldn’t want to roll with a 300lb obese man.

We’ve had a few guys lose a lot of weight after starting to train. Most notably is one that’s lost over 100lbs in the two years he’s been doing BJJ. He looks like a different man.

I’ve rolled with a couple 300 pound guys. Wouldn’t call them obese but my 160 pound self was having all sorts of trouble

Saw that. Odd they never showed him actually in a gi and rolling, just doing kickboxing drills.

Well, he talked about getting his belt. I also assume he wouldn’t look very powerful rolling at this point, and it was a segment where he had to show how confident he now is.

Biggest Loser is all about spin, and editing things to make then look like the producers want them to.

That is pretty much every reality show.

I think that pretty cool. I was talking to my kung fu teacher (a college course :P)yesterday and she told me about a friend of her’s who started Krav Maga and is a totally different person, she lost a lot of weight and is much more confident and disciplined.

BJJ is awesome to lose weight. not only to lose weight but you learn to kick some ass. Two for one in my book.

I need to get back into bjj and muay thai.
