Question

Answer 1

I do Brazilian kit jitsu. why? I started doing it in middle school because I wanted to try something new, growing up I did little League, baseball, softball, basketball, field hockey, etc. I was a very aggressive player, so I wanted to try man. My dad recommended by because it was choking and wrestling pretty much. I. loved. it. I did the adult classes because only little kids where in the younger classes, so I wrestled with 40 plus year old men and older teen boys. I won a lot, cause its more technique than strength and I was more flexible and could could withstand a lot before I think about taping out. It actually got me the idea to do wrestling in HS, it was mixed gendered, but mostly for boys. But i got on varsity for lightweights and loves it too.

I don't see many girls do jiu jitsu or even wrestling. I think it's cool. In my gym we just got this girl who wants to try high school wrestling so we're teaching her before season starts. I say good for her.

Well, i hope she likes it as much as I did. The most important thing she can have though, is stamina, so id have her work on that. Just some advice lol

Stamina was by far my weakest attribute lol. I was a powerhouse but gassed out too quick.

Soccer! It's hard to explain why, part of it is the crazy adrenaline rush I get from playing, I love being on a team, I get to run a lot at high speeds in my position which feels so invigorating. Playing the sport almost always lifts my spirits.

I like to skateboard on vert ramps if that counts. I'm an air guy and not a very technical skater, but like to do big backside and frontside airs. Been doing it since 7-years old.

My idol as a child and whose style I similarly adopted was Christian Hosoi:

Other than that I was sprinter and long jumper on the track team. Could run pretty fast (100M dash in 10.5 secs) and jump a long distance (~25 feet) for my height (just 5'7) and probably from the skateboarding. I've slowed down quite a bit though with age. :-D

Also thought American football was awesome but I only played a form of touch football where we had ribbons you could pull off the players instead of a tackle. There if someone passed the ball to me I could guarantee a touchdown with my speed... but I never played on the football team (coach wanted me). I'm not sure I would have been good in a tackling environment, as being tackled by a linebacker might kill me. :-D

Boxing! Throwing of hands is always better than watching men roll around on the floor together. If your hands are fast on one punk will go to the ground and stay there. Bam!
