Jews migrated here and invented superhero comics so I could hop on a huge guy’s back and choke him while wearing a Spider-Man rash guard.

Jiujitsu is magic because you train to calmly get out of the most deadly positions into positions of undisputed victory. All in 5 minutes. Again and again.

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?
