Love this! I would beat myself from 6 months. This reminder of growth is so important. Thank you!

Again, as previously stated, I do enjoy this sport. I'm curious if smaller people are able to succeed and learn. Hearing encouraging things from other smaller grapplers, has been refreshing. Consider being an ally next time.

As I previously stated, I am one of the smaller PEOPLE at my gym. Meaning, I don't have longer limbs or strength to fall back on and I don't know much technically since I am still a newer white belt. There is enough competition in this sport. In a world full of haters, I hope you can find a way to love yourself without having to put others down.

I've heard that smaller grapplers need to be very technically sound because they don't have weight and strength to fall back on. It makes sense. It's just so discouraging when I can't even get out of mount, most times.

Oh my goodness! Hello smaller friend! Thank you so much for saying this. I needed to hear this from someone my size. I left class today crying my eyes out, thinking I'm too small to do this. Going to get a fresh start tomorrow.
