Jujitsu class got me showing up to work with somewhat suspicious bruising and a sore neck from being choked. 10/10 would recommend.
#red said#gotta say like as someone who. the majority of physical abuse I've experienced has involved being thrown around#dragged around and choked#there is something weirdly emptying about these classes#i think it's less the learning to defend against it and more the idea that I'm doing it in a safe place#like with people who don't actually want to hurt me physically or emotionally#and I'm allowed to fight back and i won't be treated like I'm trying to hurt THEM physically or emotionally#I'm not particularly good at it cause I've got the strength and flexibility but i keep forgetting what I'm trying to do#like OK GOT OUT OF YOUR LOCK GOT YOUR ARM CONTROLLED. wait what was the next bit? oh no i lose.#but i often can't even cope with people TOUCHING my neck and not only did we do several moves that involved pushing on each others throats#but when i sparred with the tutor he had me in two different chokeholds plus one i wriggled out of and i had a GREAT time#it's SO DIFFERENT to do stuff where you trust the people you're with#EMPOWERING not EMPTYING those are very different words
