We were just bullshitting around, and I ended up losing. Getting man-handled hurts and it fucking sucks. My body is still aching and bruised.
I have NO grappling gyms in my small city. Is there ANY way I can learn this by myself?

Doesn't have to be jiu-jitsu, did you look into Judo or western (catch, Greco, whatever) wrestling?
>>40527425
pipebomb!

You can practice techniques by yourself. But to make them useful you absolutely need to practice them with others that are actually trying. The classes are more for learning discipline and getting a decent workout using their equipment. In reality all you need is to have a sparring partner. Or multiple that you can rotate between is optimal, since once you figure out one persons moves you can go and learn a whole new technique against another opponent since they Will haave an entirely different skill set.

You'll never be able to grapple with anyone decent unless you have live training partners. There's a reason Gracie Blue Belt(tm)s are a meme. Just accept your inferiority in this aspect of fighting unless there's a gym you can go to.
Is there ANY way I can lift weights if I don't have access to weights?
>>40527624
no retard.
if you can't access them you can't lift them
Just learn boxing and hit the fuck when they try to grab you.

Learn boxing.
Jiu jitsu is for posing faggots.

The joint locks and joint locks escapes are usefull to know. Other than that I fully agree learn boxing or another primarily striking martial art.
>>40527425
it's called running away. there are treadmills at most gyms to help you train in running away.

this level of retardation is the reason i still come to these boards.
