Jiu Jitsu bits

I am discovering that in the practice of jiu jitsu lies an untapped potential, a strong 'creative' energy that's different than writing, crafting, cooking or all the rest that feels familiar to me. 

I am discovering also that I love to talk about it, write about it even though I am a beginner practitioner, 

because it is so much more than a (self defense) martial art. 

From time to time you will hear the term art suave.

You hear it under a mountain of meat and bones, 

while being squashed, mounted, 

submitted.

One can't help but feel a mix of doubt and 

understanding, 

depending on where you're at, or how 

suave you can play. 

Or how much you know. How much you 

can give or take.

In the mat, endless possibilities.
