BJJ on Fight Quest this Friday

Fight Quest, a show on the Discovery Channel, follows two fighters who travel around getting their butts kicked in a variety of traditional martial arts styles. Doug Anderson is an amatuer, and Jimmy Smith has a professional record of 6-1. This Friday, they're in Brazil getting a lesson in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training with Rickson Gracie's club. I can't wait.

If you want to see how truly badass Rickson Gracie is, check out the documentary "Choke." It's an amazing story.

I'm even more interested after seeing this video.

This episode might be a little different than others in the Fight Quest series so far, because neither of our fighters are wholly unfamiliar with the style. Doug Anderson holds a blue belt, and Jimmy Smith is a purple belt. Anyone who's trained in BJJ for any length of time knows what that means in terms of skill and hours on the mat.

I'll definitely have the Tivo set this week!
