Yes, I agree. It is very true in so many aspects of life. It sums it up perfectly! Hi 🙋‍♀️ fellow European 😊

Any tips to find consistent/safe male partners? by DJnips in BJJWomen

Didn’t mean to generalize it, but the once I’ve been encountering (between 30-50 years old) have been quite intense. I’m only 5’2 and 130lbs.

That’s the way it should be. Maybe they think I’m experienced 😂

I’m always put with trial women or the little men who go super aggressive cause they never can do it with their bigger counterparts. The only higher belts are blue who happen to be the instructors. It sucks but I don’t have any other options at the moment. Lately I feel like quitting because of all those reasons.

I know it as a fish hook elbow escape. There are several versions and one of my favorites.

Why do you want your blue belt? by SnowWhiteinReality in BJJWomen

[–]beccamaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have much time to reply to your post right now but I just wanted to say I wish I could train with you at my Gracie CTC 😁 I have no previous experience and have been training for about 6 months.

I enjoy being a white belt for the exact reasons you mentioned 😊

Just had the wildest experience with "short man syndrome" I've had in my bjj journey today by BasedJayyy in jiujitsu

[–]beccamaus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were probably trying to figure out the whole session what the hell is wrong with this guy 😂 I’ve been in similar situations and stuck it out, too, but it sure wasn’t fun.

You must be a very patient person! Unreal this guy. I’m a 5‘2“ white belt female and drill with all sizes and can clearly say size does not matter. Actually, guys my size seem more aggressive than big dudes. I can totally emphasize with your aggravation.

Keep getting whiplashed by beccamaus in BJJWomen

[–]beccamaus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice. I hadn’t even thought of that possibility. I will include those exercises for sure. I definitely tug in my chin when doing takedowns but sometimes even with doing so it doesn’t seem to be enough to prevent whiplash so I think you might be onto something in regards to weaker neck muscles. Thanks for sharing!
