JOCKO'S Not Crying, YOU ARE (Daughter's Belt Promotion)

[@OneNvrKnoz]

My unsolicited advice with a 8 and 10 year old in bjj is to not push them. If they have a bad day or are just not feeling it, we skip a class. But I remind them that it’s a life skill like learning to swim

@@andrabook8758 It’s really not that hard to understand. When you nurture someone from their earliest stages of life it’s natural to have a lot of overwhelming feelings when they accomplish something/ make you proud. I can imagine that it also reminds you of your younger days as well. Not much of a crier myself but when I have a kid and they graduate I can guarantee there’ll be a tear at my eye when I think about all the growing they’ve done.

[@emtpres2004]

That’s so awesome as a father of 2 daughters myself. I was only able to get my oldest on the mats with me for a short while, as her true passion was competitive cheer, but man she was a sponge. Her flexibility and ability to retain body motions after only being shown once was amazing to watch as a father. And it was a great feeling to watch my mat brothers take her under their wing like a room full of uncles. She still reflects fondly of her time on the mats as well. I’ll probably never get her back in there seriously but possibly some Saturday open mats to keep her mind sharp. I can only imagine the happiness filling his heart as he was able to tell her story and promote her like that, absolutely awesome!

[@bullfrogjay4383]

I'm in the same boat. My daughter is in love with cheer and comp gymnastics but I really want her to try Jiu-jitsu. They learn so quickly and I wish I would have started when I was her age, 8 years old.

Love it! I returned to jiu-jitsu last year after more than a decade off for two reasons. After losing my father that year, I decided my health must be at its best, so that I'm there for my sons as long as possible. And the other reason, to become a purple belt by the time they're ready to start training, so I can pass along the details of each technique. It has been difficult (I'm not young anymore), yet very rewarding. Keep training!

[@greyman6353]

Salute to your persistence. I have been training men and women in Judo and Jujitsu for close to 25 years and I see as my mission passing on the skills, mindset and life philosophy to my students. Its a journey that can takes some strange twists and turns but I am glad you are on the path again. I find martial arts to be calming and keeps me sane in a crazy and sometimes cruel world, but while you are on the mat the world outside disappears.

Why does it seem that you quit not only because your father passed but by doing this crap it was harming your health . ??????

I returned to the mat after I lost my dad, to maximize my health. I was pretty healthy already, but if I can add a few more years to whatever I have left, then all the better.

All martial artist have their pros and cons and have their place in combat. My only issue with any form of grappling is that you make yourself extremely vulnerable. I'm talking about fighting, not a sport. As Bruce Lee basically put it, "You're going to try to put your hips up under me while I beat you down?" In addition, if facing multiple attackers and all you know is judo or jujitsu, the odds are even worse for you, especially if they are dead set on harming you and can't be intimidated.

I’m an osteopath. I find it fascinating how similar martial arts and osteopathy are. It’s about applying force through levers and fulcrums to the human anatomy to achieve physiological changes. Martial arts is applying those forces to put pressure on blood supplies, nerves and lock out joints. An osteopath apply forces to alleviate pain on joints, make space on the nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatics.
