I am still in the stage where I am having difficulty coordinating my movements, I have had 4 lessons Jiu Jitsu right now. The thing is that you will gradually notice that you are getting better. I am starting to do some basic movements on auto-pilot right now, which is a good thing. I have never had good coordination, but by practicing MA I am improving it every day.

Short answer: Way too much time. Just as Patrick I am an Advisor at http://www.sitepointforums.com and that is where I waste a lot of time posting .

I am studying Fiscal Economics at the University Maastricht.

A judo-gi is your best choice for grappling. You can move around freely and have less risk of having your gi torn apart when being thrown around.

Those are some cool stats .

I just had my third lesson Jiu Jitsu, and I am learning some basic throws right now. From my own experience, I can say that the smaller guys had trouble performing a hip-throw with me, because they couldn't get my legs of the ground. I am 6 foot 5, so that was a small advantage for me. Still, I don't think size matters, nore does weight or strength. If you apply a technique right, everybody will fall or be barred, no matter what size, weight or strength they have.

O, that was a very easy one. I train traditional Jiu Jitsu. I could have told you right away if I was training traditional or BJJ, I just thought that traditional Jiu Jitsu had different sub-styles. I just see BJJ as a different art . I am still not quite clear on the Kyu part. I am a white belt, does that mean I am a 6th Kyu or something? And then when I get a yellow belt I become a 5th Kyu?

Yup, Savate... I just couldn't get the name to pop-up .

The way I understood it kickboxing originated somewhere in France (or at least an early form of it) in the 19th century,

Moobrack, sounds like me. I am 6 foot 5 give or take a little, an odd two meter. That doesn't just fall to the floor gracefully, but I am learning it now . I am training in Maastricht, in the Netherlands, at dojo Zenden. If you know anything about soccer, then you might know Boudewijn Zenden. Dutch international, plays somewhere in England if I am not mistaken. It is the dojo from his dad.

I kind of like the break-falling. Makes me feel all flexible, which I definitely am not. By the way, what does the kyu stand for?

Hi there Jinx, welcome to Karateforums.com. From the sound of it you have quite a diverse background. I only started Jiu Jitsu a week ago. Anyway, I guess I'll see you around!

I unfortunately only have one class per week. I could follow two, but that would not work out for me with going home (I live at campus and during the weekend I go home). My training is on Tuesday night, 21.00-22.00.

That is one way of looking at a white belt. I am just proud to be a white belt, to be involved in Jiu Jitsu. I have actually no clue what type it is, and I still need to figure out my Sensei's rank. He has a black belt, but I am not sure about his Dan.
