You know what I think is interesting? As a decently buff woman, the attitude of men towards me in a gym vs in a martial arts academy is VERY different.

Usually men in a gym will look at me That Way™ when I walk into the weight section and do 2 hours of upper body weight training. A lot are judgemental af, trying to dissect my form even tho I've gone through several personal trainers and my form is usually better than theirs. Just overall bad energy.

The men in my martial arts academy?

Something else entirely.

The guys from muay thai and bjj, especially the ones from wrestling, are always hyping me up and encouraging me. Of course there's some exceptions, but most of these dudes have already been humbled by enough women that they're eons less judgemental.

They respect me enough to not go easy on me but they don't try to genuinely injure me (bad sportsmanship no matter the gender). If something about my form in a technique is off, they will give me constructive criticism instead of being demeaning or just staying silent about it to try to guarantee a win.

A guy last week was like "you really be brawling, you picked me up and rolled my on the ground like an alligator", and another dude today was like "you're getting so strong so fast it's ridiculous." AND I'M LIKE THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD ENERGY, WORKING OUT IS 80% OF MY PERSONALITY SO IM HOPING TO BE GOOD IN AT LEAST THAT😭😭😭💕💕

mostly academic discussion of kink (specifically choking/strangulation) below cut

so i saw (and just reblogged) this post going around about how consensual (erotic) choking/strangulation is always edgeplay, because it's extremely dangerous

and I'm honestly a bit confused: I've never done erotic choking, but I have consensually choked people and been choked a lot--it's kind of a major part of BJJ (the grappling part of MMA)

blood chokes, air chokes, on the giving end and the receiving end, I must have done this dozens if not hundreds of times in the past year alone

and I mean, you're meant to tap early and trust your partner to do the same ("tap early, tap often" as the saying goes), but I've never heard of chokes being particularly dangerous--

in fact people will often say things like "tap early especially for joint locks" (most submissions are either joint locks or chokes, so this statement is basically implying that chokes are the less dangerous of the two, so it's okay to fight them a little more before giving in)

also my gym has bjj classes for like 8 year olds, and I'm pretty sure they also learn chokes? (though admittedly I've never watched the kids classes; I've only ever seen them from a distance while in a different class myself)

(and anyway, kink also has a culture of tapping early (or safewording as it's called in that context), so I don't really see how the culture of tapping early would make the bjj version safer than the kink version?)

is this entire sport just massively downplaying the risks of one major aspect of it? what's going on here? (Also MMA people do talk about the dangers of concussions and stuff, so it's not like people just don't care health/danger etc)

I'm just surprised I've never heard of choking/strangulation being particularly dangerous

Why Your Mount Sucks

by: Ffion Davies

Gi and no-gi world champion Ffion Davies explains why your mount game may be lacking. Especially if you're someone who is used to being the smaller, less powerful grappler.

Wait, you do jiu jitsu?

I do yes! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! I also do Muay Thai, but not as much. BJJ is how I get the vast majority of my exercise, I train roughly 9 hours a week and have been doing it for the past few years. I’m currently a blue belt as you probably saw in this accurate picture of me at Jiu Jitsu.

I have a bit of a reputation there of being “tiny but vicious.” I don’t mean to go so hard but when the average height difference between you and the other guys is 8 inches and the average weight difference is probably 50+ pounds, I guess you gotta make up for it somewhere lol 😂

To be fair though most of it comes from me asking literally anyone to fight me. I don’t really see bigger people as intimidating(probably bad) since I’ve got enough cobbled together skills and muscle to mostly get around their size(granted their usually not going 100% on me). I’ve been shooed away by the coaches a few times cause I’ll ask a newbie to roll with me, lol

I enjoy it, though! I have lots of friends, some are much older than me, some are a little younger. Everyone is very nice and supportive of each other and it’s overall a very fun way to get exercise and martial arts training! :]
