The Hearts of Grapplers: July 2015
http://heartsofgrapplers.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The Hearts of Grapplers. Sunday, July 26, 2015. How to be a Dick in BJJ. Recently I looked up online how to be a dick in jiujitsu. Not as a self-aware journey to not annoy anyone in my gym, and not to find “dos and don'ts” on the mat, but to find an actual guide on how to be a dick. The Google search only told me to wash my gi and trim my nails, which is not at all helpful. I'll explain. Many of them have spiky, suffocating, or merciless games that leave opponents feeling bruised and massacred. I could b...

The Hearts of Grapplers: Building Respect
http://heartsofgrapplers.blogspot.com/2015/10/building-respect.html
The Hearts of Grapplers. Sunday, October 18, 2015. This post was originally titled, “Building Respect as a Female Coach.” Meg and I are both coaches of primarily male students at our respective gyms, and thus feel we have unique perspectives and useful advice on coaching BJJ. However, I changed the title because I think the following is relevant to everyone, not just jiujitsu coaches. Because at the end of the day,. Commanding respect is about being a chocolate-covered pretzel: salty and sweet at the sam...

http://heartsofgrapplers.blogspot.com/2015/11/an-abridged-beginners-guide-to-bjj-for.html
The Hearts of Grapplers. Sunday, November 8, 2015. An Abridged Beginner's Guide to BJJ for Women. In BJJ, women face a slew of unique issues, and as beginners in this sport, your male coach is probably not your best source. Sure, he's got 50 ways to do an armbar, but does he know how to strap boobs down so as not to suffocate during inverted guard? Just for fun, try asking him. What You Should Wear. This lady has a nice double-braid combo going on to control her hair. Hair Issues, Fixes, and Puns. You're...

The Hearts of Grapplers: May 2015
http://heartsofgrapplers.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Hearts of Grapplers. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Training Safely: It's Okay to Say No! During my first year of training jiujitsu, I rolled with everyone. I saw the spazzy or Jurassic-sized men as challenges. The bigger they are, the harder they fall, right? I hope you kicked his ass, but it's more likely you spent the entire time balled up protecting your limbs and just wanting it to end. What would happen if you told him no? If you said, "I'm taking a break right now, but thanks." Or even more to the ...

The Hearts of Grapplers: The Bitch versus The Flirt
http://heartsofgrapplers.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-bitch-versus-flirt.html
The Hearts of Grapplers. Sunday, August 9, 2015. The Bitch versus The Flirt. How can a woman training jiujitsu be taken seriously, but not come off as a bitch? How exactly does one manage to be friendly, but not be misinterpreted as flirty? As women, we can’t avoid the fact that we have to constantly negotiate the flirty versus bitchy personality dichotomy. But you were kinda rude to me. You barely even acknowledged me! You acted like you were better than everyone else.”. My experience has taught me to a...
