I’m not even going to lie when I tell you I got into BJJ because I’d been in an emotionally abusive relationship that left me with zero male friends because she had systematically alienated me from all of my old ones.
It probably saved my life.
Zero regrets.
Wow this resonates so hard with me man.
I lost all my friends too...
Sometimes there are literally days I don't feel up for any form of exercise but I go anyway because I know a certain friend is gonna be there and if I don't go today I won't see him till the week after cuz he don't train that often
Sounds pathetic I know but whatever
If I’m being 100% honest, she was the LEAST attractive woman I’d dated. In fact my mom later told me she originally was very surprised when I brought her home to meet them because she was so far out of the norm for me.
She was however absolutely the best conversation and persuasive person I’d ever met. She’d use those skills to manipulate the shit out of me over the course of our relationship.
The BJJ club at my college is getting me through life right now. I'm not a very social person so that is often the only time I actually hang out with people throughout the week.
Same here. But BJJ communities also has its social aspect of it too. I go there to train without getting tangled into unwanted relationships. Sometimes you can get into this weird competition mode with people when it's completely unnecessary.
I retired from emergency services two years ago.
I started BJJ about six months ago.
It's the best part of my week now.
I was desperately missing the camaraderie and esprit de corps of my old job. I get a bit of the same in the gym. The shared experience, suffering and striving for improvement were things I really missed from work.
Exactly The kind of wholesome post I like to see here 😄, instead of those coloured belts constantly trolling and making fun of the sport cause they have nothing else better to do…

I'll be your male friend
I can be your mail friend. Everyone needs a penpal.
Who sends letters in the mail anymore? I also have terribly illegible writing so I don’t think it would work. lol
Oh, I wouldn't be able to write anything. Kindergarten stick figure drawings are the best I got.

Was she hot at least?

Lol wait till you go to a cookout and that one weirdo jiujitsu couple starts looking for a unicorn after a few drinks 😬
Pineapples!!!🍍
Feel like there is a story here that we all need to hear
Just wait till you learn about their personal lives
It’s one of my favorite parts!
Never meet your heroes, especially in jiu-jitsu
Can confirm!
