once again tried out jiujitsu in the hopes i’d like it this time. the place didn’t seem as cult-y as some of the others (gracie barra looking at you) but this guy did say smth along the lines of ‘you’ll 100% be indoctrinated into the bjj life’ in all seriousness whilst seatbelt gripping me

Look For The Light

Some days life feels so hopeless. The end of the world. I will never get over this. Yet on better days, I remember. Life doesn't have to be an overarching dream to something. It can be beautiful moments throughout the course of your everyday life.

I got moved up into an Brazilian jiu-jitsu adults class as a white belt-16 year old-5'0-teenage girl. I missed my friends. But, I'm good with adults and adapting to new environments. Yet, there was one day that got the best of me. I was sparring with a brown belt-grown woman. She put me in a triangle leg choke. Due to my previous experiences, with triangle leg chokes I was able to wiggle my way out of them. Not this time. I attempted to wiggle, and I heard a pop in my neck and I tapped. I got up starting walking away with my vision clouding with stars and tears. I get to the wall, I try to deep breath it out. I walk off the mat. My coach asks what's wrong and I excuse myself for a moment. It was my first injury. Anyway, he had excused me to sit on the side of the mat and just observe sparring. A woman I had been partners with these last coming weeks, was sitting with me. I still had tears running down my cheeks. No loud sobbing. It was a bad day already for me, and I was conditioned my whole childhood, I couldn't cry. That led to me never crying. As I was sitting on the mat, I just let myself cry. My partner then had tried starting conversation with me, I kept it short just because I didn't want to make my voice turn shaky or hoarse. She didn't like my short answers and she had asked questions that required longer answers. Soon enough we were sharing girlhood stories about bleeding through our pants. And then there I was, and tears weren't staining my cheeks any longer. Class ended soon after that. I left hastily as my father was waiting in the parking lot. I never told that woman thank you. After a month after that incident I took a break from Jiu-Jitsu. Not because of that, just I didn't quite have the motivation for it. That sounds pathetic now. But, not the moral of the story.

Life can feel so hopeless at times. But humanity will really show you that it is not. That woman didn't have to comfort me that night. She could've given up when I was short with her. If you are in a dark place, look for the light. Such as situations like this. Feel free to make this thread a place to share, light moments.

I love you all.

Let's talk about that tuft of hair coming out of his hat. The grey in that perfectly textured beard. The grey at the hairline on the back of his neck. The neck beard. The nose. The smile. The ears.

O treino hoje foi só de vento forte… um roxa perdido em meio os pretas.😬 Muitas vezes não estamos preparados para as situações difíceis, mas são as situações difíceis que nos preparam para sermos fortes e capazes de vencer. As vezes Deus não muda os ventos, mas nos ensina a sermos firmes para que esses ventos não nos derrube. Os ventos fortes são meu treino! 💪🏿😌 #jiujitsu #bjj #mma #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #ufc #grappling #muaythai #bjjlifestyle #martialarts #life #oss #wrestling #kickboxing #boxing #judo #fitness #nogi #bjjlife #artesuave #jiujitsulife #karate #selfdefense #fight #jiujitsuparatodos #blackbelt #bjjgirls #ibjjf #training #o (em Golden Lion Top Team) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTVHaiuGwa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

things my bjj coach has said to/about me:

we ordered some shirts mostly medium, large and xl bc we didnt think that anyone needed a small. (awkward pause as he looks down the line and then sees me) oh yea you probably do, my bad.

(giving the class instructions on how to do the move) we're all mostly guys here.

(watching a 180lbs man literally crush me) yikes, don't let him do that to you

(watching me not tap to any shoulder/arm locks bc im hypermobile) ok you're done. *literally any classmate*, she taps.
