    Primarily train Judo but try to do both as much as I can. Am (was?) a mod of r/judo and started up a !judo community here too. Originally I started up a judo and a BJJ community on lemmy.ml but didn’t like their connection with lemmygrad so jumped ship to here instead (and saw this community already ready to go!).

    I’ve been doing Muay Thai almost as long as I’ve been training in BJJ, do a Judo class once a week, and usually spend about 2 hours training with some friends who are D2 college wrestlers.
