The warrior in me, the one who homebrew martial arts even as a child, said "Stop that Giggling, Woman!". OTOH, my internal & empathic Uncle Taz aspect knew; when in full grapple Alayna would relax directly into it, with a sigh.

What great instructor. She went along with your nervous silliness, without becoming annoyed, and did her best to teach you about Jiu Jitsu. Brava to her and to you.

[@KainzMusic]

Jiu jitsu dates back to the 6th century AD, and was used by the samurai during the feudal period of Japan, as a combat method for those times when a weapon wasn't readily available. It used to be much more vicious but as time went by it was adapted for more sport use. It can still be used effectively for self defense. When it arrived in Brazil, the Gracie family added elements of judo and placed emphasis on takedowns and grappling and BJJ was born. (turning off geek mode)

[@isabeauhvitstein2820]

Oh never turn off geek mode! Love the fun facts

[@eh99881]

Queer martial artist here ✌️im the only gal training in my school much less the only queer person. i cannot tell you how excited i was when this video showed up on my feed. I think i can speak for everyone when i say we'd love to see more jiu jitsu content 😄

[@admitopobreza7356]

I just see the thumbnail. "That's why Greco-Roman wrestling had a reputation for gayness."

[@Stile4aly]

Based on the thumbnail, I'm guessing this is now Alayna's favorite sport.

[@faeriesandrainbows]

Something about being a therapist and regular practitioner of jiu jitsu at the same time tickles me. 😆🥰

[@docabj8097]

It is incredible how much jiu Jitsu informs my work with clients. Countless lessons about anxiety management, my hang ups about control, how to be empathetic and challenging, how to rely on humility and openness so I can learn unexpected lessons by surprising people, how to be present, how to fail forward, how to work with what is given to me, how to work with different types of people, how to be honest about my limitations, and the value of physicality, activity, exercise and embodiment in healing trauma. I obviously could go on forever! 😊

Okay sapphic giggles aside.... this actually looked so fun, and like something you Alayna would be into and could get good at. Would love to see process.

[@rtgt3173]

Looks you had a good time! I practice catch wrestling which is similar to jiu jitsu but a bit more on the aggressive side and you don't wear a gi. My first session I was similarly panicky and had never been in a 'fight' before. Being in such close proximity with someone took some getting used to, as well as going out of my way to hurt them, but not hurt them in a way that would be physically damaging longterm. You get such a knowledge of how your body and someone elses body works and gain such an awareness of your physical presence. My coach had us do full sparring pretty much immediately knowing only two things like you and he did not hold back! While at times it was scary I enjoyed it too and have carried it on ever since

[@Chuberlovesguatemala]

It makes me so happy the only knowledge i have of jujitsu is JENNA MARBLES AND JULIEN!!!!!

Obviously we probably haven't seen the entire session, but that was impressive in any case, Alayna! Granted, the teacher is also really good didactically, and one on one with a blackbelt is always a treat. :-)

Hi, AJ! Been a silent sub since forever... all of your videos are awesome, ..this was by far one of the most fun content...and informative..n ol dat..and the Master, she's a Legend!! anyhooo just wanted to let you knnow... keep doin what you do... and goes without saying..THANK YOU! Oh BTW...The part when you cautioned the Master that you were gonna go for it was.... just wow...it got me cracking...!!!! But the best part of that sequence was that ...you went for it, giving your best shot to gauge your strength and ability at the sport,... there's a great lesson there...despite being a first timer/beginner you showed that we should give our best and not shy away or be timid ... but give your all... we all need to do/learn that.... This video was a perfect balance of fun, entertainment and life lessons .... Thank You again and sorry for the long stretch. Lol

[@steevoridgeline]

that was such a great topic and video ! great synergy between you two. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@The-Labbed-Life]

I'm so happy you tried Jiujitsu! 😆 it's really an amazing martial art and the best for women wanting to know self defense. I like to describe it as a human chess with your body hehe. At the beginning you can be a bit afraid cause it's very close contact but it's definitely worth it. You actually forget it after some practice because you're into what technique you can do or how to escape. It teaches you how to handle people in your space and to be much more confident with your body. It gave me a lot of confidence and it reflects on my life! I would recommend you to continue if you can hehe, you did great for a first class and doing rock climbing is a huge advantage for griping Gi. Many people are building their grips for BJJ thanks to climbing. I would recommend you some really cool black belt women to follow to see more: Margot Cicarelli, Brianna Ste-Marie, Ffion Davies, Emily Kwok and more. Actually, tomorrow will be one of the biggest No Gi fight between Brianna and Ffion Davies!
