I tried out Brazillian Jiu Jitsu for the first time.
I've always watched the men aggressively hug each other on the map, but I never got it. So, when I joined the "fundemental class", literally there was only 2 complete newbies, me and this other girl. The other girl came and tried out because her boyfriend brought her here, which means that those 2 will be partnering up.
So who was I partnered up with? Some guy who's like purple belt. Well, I learn A LOT from him. My aikido days definitely helped with some of the basic movements (like rolling and break falling), but the grappling is insane.
Needless to say I got my ass handed to me. I lasted like 3 seconds on the mat before needing to tap out cause I'm just constantly getting destroyed by these folks. It was fun though!
The other thing I wanna talk about is that; I just recently watched this movie called "I want to eat your Pancreas". One of the main arguments of the show on why it's "meh" its cause the girl in the film plays the part of the "manic pixie dream girl" to the male lead.
Immediately after hearing that point, I was kind of disagree. I didn't know why I disagree, but I know that I definitely just disagree. I slept at 2am yesterday night because that kept me up all night. So I'll probably talk about that in the next post while I gather my thoughts on why Yamauchi Sakura is not a manic pixie dream girl.
Go watch the movie first before I spoil it to you!
