Hill started training BJJ 2 months ago and he is training up to 4x a week.
His talked about the reasons why he started training in his instagram post. Hill was actually bullied in High School by BJJ guys:

I started Brazilian Jiu Jitzu 2 months ago and try and train 4 or 5 times a week. In high school the dudes who did Jiu Jitsu used to beat the sh*t out of us at parties so it turned me off to it as an idea growing up. But quietly I always thought it was a beautiful art form .
At 35 , I try and get over the stuff that made me feel weak and insecure as a teenager. It’s just wasted time and lessons you’ll never learn. Trying to let go of that. Nothing more humbling than getting your as$ kicked by a 12 year old your first week . Got my first stripe today. I know it sounds corny but it’s pretty dope to jump in and do stuff you’d never think you’d be able to do. Much respect to Sensai Josh and @clockworkbjj and Anthony for getting me into it ❤️ 🥋
