Rumbling and tumbling

I was in Thailand around Christmas and did a few workouts, so when I got back to Perth I signed up for Brazilian Jiu jitsu. I did Japanese jiu jitsu for a few years when I was a youth and then almost a year of BJJ in my teens.

I just got back from a rolling session at another club. It's Saturday and a competition is coming up so schools hook up with each other so that everyone can have a feel of each other. Sitting by the sideline is like being 7yrs and sitting at the school yard.

Everywhere you see big grins and friendly hand shakes. As soon as you get in you know people.

All the animals rumble around with each other

Even cells rumble and tumble

I wonder when human stopped play fighting. Research even shows clearly that kids that get rough-housed by their parents are less prone to develop ADHD. And you know why? It's because rough-housing develops your brain.

You don't run the risk of someone pulling your hair, bashing a rock in your head or something like that, there are many rules to it. And you would be surprised at what kind people are doing it. Guys, girls, skinny, fat, old, young. And you go against everyone.

It would be the best rehabilitation for dementia, depression, anxiety, anorexia, stress or anything you could think off. If your kid (boy or girl) is having any problem in school or is having any new spectrum disorder, send him to a bjj school and your boy or girl will be turned into a man or woman. He will start to behave much better because he actually get to move around with other people a few hours a week.

The only downside would be that when you try to rough-house him, he might trap you in an armbar.

Do no fall in the trap into thinking it's just a guy thing. There were plenty of girls there today. I think the most important thing is to go there to have fun and learn and rumble around. But that's with everything in life, you got to enjoy the process instead of trying to get the black belt i.e. the end result. I think we're so hypnotised into getting to the end NOW, that we forget that the best thing was actually using your senses and doing it.

A school here in Aus recently banned children from doing handstands, cartwheels and somersaults.
Jeez...I know this is extreme but it's where we are going and I laugh everyday at all the craziness that's going on.

They've made the legal system to such a big thing here (2nd to US) that people always have to watch out. It doesn't cost anything to sue people, the lawyers have a No Win/No Pay deal. Haha listen to that, that's even funnier, so some bum that hasn't done anything in his life can order a coffee at McDonalds and burn himself on it and make 10million dollars or however much it was, what a joke.

Rant over, life's v good over here. Not like everyone's else but I've made it myself. You can always feel sorry for yourself because this or that circumstance, you are where you are and doing what you're doing. Compared to others it might be better or worse but you are where you are, enjoy your time and slowly improve in life.
