Jiu Jitsu bits II

I wrote something about jiu jitsu a few weeks ago...

Something about 

how we (not all of course) can feel overwhelmed by emotions and primal feelings on the mat

and how I felt we should transcend such feelings and emotions in order to achieve something bigger. Personal growth being one. 

In reality screw that because when you are in the thick of it, there's no transcending but survival,

no personal growth that doesn't account for you keeping your ego intact.

You show up and that could be enough or not. But you keep going. You keep chasing that fire inside.
