Hola!

I love you all.

This morning I woke up and realized that I had signed up for BJJ but forgot about setting my alarm. Luckily I woke up in time to go but because it wasn’t on my mind this morning I considered bailing out. I didn’t have the proper clothes immediately available, I’ve been on hiatus for nearly a year and I was anxious about going even when I signed up.

I showed up.

The class included literally the thing I was fearing the most in BJJ. Wrestling style take downs. I feel like this is where the biggest risk of injury is. Falling with your own weight can be enough to injure but add the weight of others and it can be even worse. But I wasn’t falling. I was learning to fall. With the guidance and demonstrations of others I practiced falling today. It was beautiful.

I love you.

Papa ❤️🐺
