Thanks to everybody that took the time to take our first survey from the Facebook link. We'll be doing those regularly for different reasons. The first was to give us a good idea of who's following us, where their jiu-jitsu is at, and what they're interested in. Some results were what we expected and some were a little surprising. Here are some of the interesting, or at least notable, results.
A little over 40% of you fall between 3-stripe white and 2-stripe blue. For the most part the magazine will be written for white and blue belts. These are by far the largest groups of jiu-jitsu players (not sure about that term, "players" doesn't sound right) and are the most likely to buy a magazine about jiu-jitsu.
38% train 4 or more times a week. Call me lazy I guess, I fall between the 2-3 times a week category.
Almost 60% of you have competed in a tournament and 12% have no interest in competition.
The position you have the most confidence in, your closed guard and side control.
You're all fat, 33% of you would like to lose 10 to 20lbs and 17% would like to lose more than 20lbs. I'm in the later category.
Most of you don't wear a mouth guard when you roll. I always use a mouth guard, my parents spent a lot on braces when I was a kid also I find that I can hold out on a choke much longer with than without.
Most of the other answers are now considered trade secrets so we'll hang on to those until you get to read the magazine. If you haven't taken our survey yet, please do, it's quick and easy and will help us make the best magazine possible. You can take the survey at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2SR5ZKS
Also, we recently did a call out for photos of yourself, name, where you train, belt rank as well as another request for questions for our Q&A column. On that one be sure to provide name and belt rank as well. You can email those questions and photos to us at feedback@jiujitsumag.com
Hope everybody's having a great weekend.
