00:00 We got to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu one afternoon at Open Mat Studio in Salcedo Village, Makati City.
00:06 This new spot opened last April and features your basic amenities, a matted space, shower area, and lockers.
00:12 For a bunch of non-athletes, we were great, or at least that's what our instructor told us.
00:17 Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that's all about grappling, ground fighting, and submission holds.
00:22 So for our basic drills, we were taught how to pull our opponent and, at the same time, push our body away.
00:27 At this point, we either look like shrimps or worms or both.
00:30 Of course, we can't end the session without a demo of taking down our boss.
00:34 We're just kidding.
