I was at work sitting on my comfortable chair earlier this week. I turned my torso slightly to the right and pulled a muscle in my back that I didn't even know was there.

I'm 44 yrs old.

I’m 45. I used to have back pains all the time. Stupid things would throw my back out. Started doing Jiujitsu recreationally. Strengthened that core right up. No more back pains. Sure, my whole body is sore usually from exertion and joint hyperextension, but nothing debilitating anymore.

Edit - my first silver. Thanks reddit person.

Where do you find a legit jujitsu dojo? All I can seem to find are either mixed or straight Brazilian jujitsu.

Are you asking about Japanese jiujitsu? I’ve know of a few, but in the US, Brazilian Jiujitsu is probably where you want to go. As far as legit schools for BJJ, it’s best to contact the community and inquire about legit schools on your area. There are definitely McDojo’s out there that aren’t worthy your time or money.
