I just started a program with Robson Moura yesterday. I’m 310 pounds, and look forward to making great progress in flexibility, weight loss, and cardiovascular improvement.

BJJ IS F’N AWESOME! I am currently a Gracie white belt and it is by far the best martial art. I burn roughly 800 calories each training session…

Well, the tattoo seems damaging, but the angle of his arm is different if you look at his tattoo sleeve, its possible that the tattoo on the had is angled away from the camera.

HOld up… this picture is reversed… the skinny picture is actually the before picture.. and the fat picture is the after…

take a look at his left hand in the pic (his right hand). There is a tattoo on the back of his hand in the fat picture.

there is no tattoo on the back of his hand in the skinny picture.

thus.. the picture is reversed and is not a true before and after photo.

OK I’m late to the comment party here, but it’s worth chipping in my personal experience. I weighed 205-215 last year, and decided to get in shape. I started by doing mountain biking & some high intensity exercise. This got me down to around 195, and got me in enough cardio shape that I thought BJJ was even an option.
Once I started, it was crazy…i dropped to 175 within about 4 months. I’m now close to 165 after almost a year of BJJ. I do other workouts as well, but it’s mostly in the interest of making weight and improving my grappling strength, so I can safely say that BJJ motivates those workouts.
After personally losing 40-50 lbs and being in the best shape of my life, I’ll definitely attest to the benefits.

BJJ ‘IS’ Awesome! I am a newbie but have admired the art every since a small lanky kid named Royce Gracie destroyed huge muscular brawler style men in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd full contact K1 competitions! Now BJJ is a mandatory part of any aspiring MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) student. The style is for all body types and there are benefits for those who are tall and for short people as well. The weight loss benefit is awesome because “anything” you like doing. . . you will keep doing!
