I am 5’7 (unicorn founder height). I was grappling with a 6’3 200 lb man last night when the answer to a mystery that had been tormenting me all week popped into my head. https://x.com/willmanidis/status/1958917807762285026?s=46

Dancers are always naturals at jiujitsu but never want to do jiujitsu 😔

Last night I caught myself doing a jiujitsu move I’d only seen Ottavia Busia-Bourdain do and instantly missed her. She and her partner are both incredible grapplers, but disappeared from the scene 5 years ago. It was really special to train alongside them. I’m reminded that whenever you are in a room of special people it won’t last forever and you should take advantage of it.

@baltobb : How was class? Me: We did a shark tank. @baltobb: Is that when people pitch you their business while they fight you?

Did a jiujitsu exercise last night where I had to fight a big guy with a limited moveset. I couldn't make any headway, but kept seeing moves I could've done if I had the flexibility. Another example of how when you're a small upstart, flexibility, creativity, and playing to your advantage is everything. Otherwise you will get crushed by the big guys.

The problem with having a MMA gym in your neighborhood is you develop visceral, spatial memories of getting your ass kicked in your neighborhood.
