[Sportsandrec] Brazilian Jujitsu

[Carly Mihalakis]

Sorry, just now seeing this. I, too am pretty 
intrigued by descriptions of BJJ and am 
interested in checking it out. Though I am also 
in Berkeley, I would be willing to travel to 
other Bay Area locales to partake. Am interested 
in your professor's outfit. How much do these classes typically run?
