Ugh. I got a little annoyed last night during BJJ, and for the first time it had nothing to do with frustration about my own performance. I became super happy recently because a few more females started coming to class. AWESOME! A few people of the same gender and comparable size to match up with during sparring- or so I thought! They don’t want to spar! Ugh! The one female stayed for one round last night and then called it quits. I guess that’s better than nothing.
I did receive an amazing compliment from my instructor though. After I finished going a round with this guy who must have at least 50 lbs on me, the instructor said, “That was really good. You have something you just can’t teach." I figured he was talking about my speed or what I like to call my “squirminess," but I figured I’d ask him what he meant. He said,"Toughness. You’re tough. You just can’t teach that." And so, even though I was slightly peeved that the other female left, I ended my night with a smile on my face. Can’t wait for class later tonight!
