Anybody take BJJ and hate it at first but eventually learn to like it?

I'm a striker that's learning the ground game via MMA. It's not exactly BJJ so I don't know how much of this applies, but I was really against learning ground fighting at the beginning. Didn't like the fact that I had to fight on a playing field different from what I'm used to, and I didn't really get to use all the body mechanics I spent so much time learning. But once I learned about hip movement and the fact that there is a whole new set of body mechanics (not just a random set of techniques) to learn I have been having a lot more fun with it. My focus is still the sweeps and holding the top position to stand or ground and pound, but I have also been learning submissions to distract them in order to set up a sweep or better position. All in all stick with it and I think you'll enjoy it quite a bit.
