That's the make-up of the ...Don't give up! That's the make-up of the class at Blackbelt Universe, but I don't know if it's representative of classes at other schools. Actually, I know a woman who studies jiu-jitsu; she lives in Dallas now, but started here in Lubbock, so I'll bet that Amarillo must have some places with women in class, too. The one at http://martialartsamarillo.com also has an after-school program that looked kind of neat. I think you're right, calling the different places may be the best track. I'll be really interested to hear if you end up trying it. Why, you could even blog about it!Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528188612235068004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2458465103162971589.post-4769896344538066462011-07-25T14:48:59.670-05:002011-07-25T14:48:59.670-05:00yeah. see? that was something i wondered. i really...yeah. see? that was something i wondered. i really do want to do this jiu-jitsu - but i DO NOT want to roll around with you gay, sweaty men...<br /><br />maybe i should check out muay thai... or just go to one of these martial arts academies and see what they offer... or try to find a fight club... without speaking of it...Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859010006216126347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2458465103162971589.post-88244826888881139232011-07-25T13:37:33.482-05:002011-07-25T13:37:33.482-05:00Your scenario with Courtney makes me think of a gr...Your scenario with Courtney makes me think of a great story David Sedaris told about his sister Amy. Her face was made-up to look horribly bruised and beaten for a part that she was playing, but she left the set with it still on, and went to ride on the subway. Anytime somebody would look at her, she'd say, "Isn't it wonderful? I'm in LOVE!"<br /><br />I Googled "Amarillo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu" (BTW, don't stop at "Amarillo Brazilian," unless you are in the market to have a specific service performed, as it will bring up an entirely different set of results), and it looks like there's a couple of places that offer it. What you're describing with the backroom, though, sounds more like a Fight Club, which you'll have to find on your own, because of the first rule of Fight Club and all.<br /><br />Although there aren't any women in the class I go to, there were several in the Muay Thai class, and they were really good at it. It's great exercise, and great release!Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528188612235068004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2458465103162971589.post-38261530174030195592011-07-24T17:18:50.734-05:002011-07-24T17:18:50.734-05:00i really WAS going to point out how gay that sound...i really WAS going to point out how gay that sounded! stop using all the good lines - it's not very thoughtful.<br /><br />it brings me joy to consider the stories the women thought of to account for your abused body. my favorite is that courtney beat the s#!t out of you. my second favorite is that you "bust[ed] out your Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu moves in a street fight." against a really bad mime.<br /><br />and, finally. i want to do JIU-JITSU! do you think they have a class in the backroom at the mercantile in amarillo?Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859010006216126347noreply@blogger.com
