Park Chilling after (grappling) practice

Well! What a month it has been. I've been spending my summer biking around Brooklyn, going to minor-league baseball games, picnicking in parks, celebrating my birthday (!!), touring to Boston with Lana Luxor (and meeting and filming with Bettie Brickhouse!), and upping my motherf*cking training game!

I did it guys, I joined a gym. Well...I got a groupon for a BJJ school, which is allllmost the same thing. Okay, okay--it is not even close to the same thing, BUT, I did get a gi and have been training in it this month, which has been...interesting. It's funny to see how my general grapple training translates to gi-bjj.



What's cool?

• Realizing how much I know, next to true beginners
• Being secretly smug when I know something other people don't (heheh)
• Learning Judo throws
• Practicing from-the-feet takedowns
• Air-conditioned studio (y'all have seen me sweat--right?)

What isn't cool?

• Wearing an ill-fitting gi. Friends, standard gis can't handle these curves. That's a fact.
• Jogging around a room--if I wanted to run, I'd...well, no. I would not be me if I wanted to run
• No live-training in beginner classes (the only ones included in my groupon)

In conclusion, it's a good experience, and fun to set foot in a real school. But this girl's gotta fight to learn.

And lastly, yes...I definitely owe you gi pics. I promise I'll take some.

Until then,
