Started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2006 at 307 lbs in effort to both learn and get in better shape. After a year I lost almost 100 lbs by both training 4-5 times a week and making other lifestyle changes. After 14 years I have kept the weight off and regardless of how many medals I won or still may win, Jiu Jitsu saved my life.
