...because they want to?
6/6 But bottom line- I do marital arts for fun and a bit of fitness. It doesn't mean I'm not serious, focused and technical! I just want to do this as long as i can and bring as many along as want to come along. Compete! Don't compete! Come train:)

1/6 I'm a black belt and have never competed. It's something I feel self-conscious about on occasion. I have this sneaking suspicion sometimes that not competing hurts my credibility as a black belt or meant wearing previous belts I'm not as good as others of my rank. I don't think we should feel that way though!
So why do I feel this way?

Kind of annoyed with everything i write lately. All of the things I've written sound sort of the same. Maybe shouldn't share my thoughts😠Maybe i will embrace being the overthinking and self-doubt correspondent?

5/5 In the same way, it's not shameful to consider others in the words you use or jokes you tell. (Especially if you then expect them to be comfortable in a sport like jiu-jitsu!) Like with tapping out and restarting in jiu-jitsu, in life you can start over, change it up, try to handle it better immediately.

4/5 My hope is that wherever you find me, I will do everything in my power to contribute to a place being safe. Generally being considerate of others and listening and changing when I've done something offensive are top priorities. We talk about humility in jiu-jitsu. Leave your ego at the door. Tapping doesn't mean you've lost. Don't try to win practice.

2/5 I've heard objections to safe spaces from everyone to the belligerent to people worried they'll be censored or embarrassed for saying the wrong thing. If we're all working toward having an environment where everyone wants to come train with us, we should all be amenable to discussing and improving something that was offensive, sexist or racist- or even alternative words for sp*z, cr*zy, r***** without shame or shaming.

Teaching and getting "caught" teaching.
That second photo expression😂
I think i was fixing my hair or having an - oh shit that's on camera- I hope I don't look goofy- moment... which then creates a decidedly looking goofy moment...
I'm helping people out but I guess I don't expect to be seen😂 Or maybe it's a sign #teaching is becoming more natural - it feels weird when it's pointed out?
