Happy May the Force be with you! Day
A year ago today I stepped into my first jiu-jitsu competition. I lost the match, but I felt like a winner. I made a friend, gained a brand new experience, and did something I never imagined I’d ever do - competed 1:1 in a combat sport …
It was overwhelming and empowering at the same time, I felt so weak, yet stronger than ever. Like I knew nothing, yet knew so much more than the day before. I completely stepped out of my comfort zone… and loved every moment of it.
Hopefully I’ll get back to it again one day. For now, there’s still a long way to go before I’m up to blue belt standard, a lot has happened over the past year, and I think I just need a bit of time to settle 🤍
