Daniel Wu Instagram – It’s been a long long time since I’ve gotten a hickey! I think most people know I am a life long martial artist. I am pretty good with a sword and other various weapons and have been studying stand up striking for 30 years. However, I’ve always avoided any kind of ground fighting, not because I didn’t believe in it, but because I get grossed out by sweat and smells. I am even embarrassed by my own sweat. That said, I’ve always known that jiujitsu is extremely effective as a form of self defense which is why my daughter has been doing it for over two years. Watching her every class kept reminding me that I need to do it. So just before the year ended I decided check my ego and dive in. So here I am in 2024 a brand new white belt getting smashed everyday on the mat and loving it! I am comforted by pals like @willyunlee who is also making the same transition as me from stand up to the ground and @ronnychieng who has been at it for a while. Excited to see where this will take me!
