Its good to know there are others out there like me
After watching this video and hearing these giants of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu talk, I couldn’t help but feel happy to know that there are others that cannot see life without Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Sometimes I wonder if maybe I am thinking too deep into things and its reassuring to hear others share similar thoughts. I mean because on the outside we are just a bunch of people wrestling around in cotton robes. But on the inside its something so much more. It mentally and physically changes us and changes our lives.

Amen and I forget who said it in the video, but the whole alienation from real life that a 9-5 existence imposes on us is an important reason why jiu-jitsu is necessary for lots of folks. They need a reconnection to their bodies in motion, in primal scenes, in a community, to offset the sheer banality and boredom of how many earn a living.
Definitely. Humans weren’t wired to do a lot of the stuff we do at this time in our society. Like you said its good to have a outlet that allows us to touch on our more primal / primitive side and exhaust our creative energies.
