But the article is insightful and well written.I love the idea of BJJ as a language. Hopefully we'll be fluent in it one day.A.D.

Unfortunately, you ca...Really interesting simile. <br /><br />Unfortunately, you can't learn BJJ from books, as you can with languages. You can only learn it by having lots and lots of conversations. If you could, I'd be black belt by now.Andréshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555367075752875949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-36108911055502528272010-01-26T05:26:34.604-06:002010-01-26T05:26:34.604-06:00(which manifests itself in that charming, rigid de...(which manifests itself in that charming, rigid deathgrip and spastic movement we all know and don’t love.) I laughed so much when I read that. Oh so charming :)<br /><br />It's funny you should be writing this. I wrote about it in December http://parttimegrappler.blogspot.com/2009/12/multi-dimensional-dialogues-in-bjj.html and I think it's the time of year. It makes us think about our lives and the whys and the hows.<br /><br />I did mention one thing in my post that I also saw in yours. BJJ is a dialogue that is unfortunately often seen as an argument. People are constantly trying to win over each other and prove their point. Like it matters. That's why it's so nice when you roll with someone (usually brown or black Belt) who is so calm and flowy-type that you almost...find...yourself...AGREEING WITH THEM! It's likeL: Yep. I saw that coming. I totally agree with you. I gave you that arm and you didn't even ask for it.
