Been here a year in April and didn’t know this. Until last week, talking to a stranger stuck in pep boys from out of state pointed it out lmao

Interesting how quick they catch someone shooting a cop

I feel this. I’m a Jersey transplant from last year! Still haven’t really gone out tbh.

Side note: You deserve it as much as anyone 🖤

You really don’t though. I went in at 220+ You will sweat a lot and get tired, but it’s often things that can be modified. It’s a great way to GET into whatever shape you’re going for. Mostly because it’s fun and makes you use your head.

BJJ legitimately saved my life during a similar situation. I was down and completely alone, only time I’ve been self harming in my life and lost 30 lbs over a month. I was thrown this exact lifeline by a friend with a school and there are not enough words for what it did for me. It got me eating better so I’d feel better on the mat, gave me a community (I only rolled sundays so it was a small tight group at a small school), and most importantly, it really opened up the creative parts of my brain that had been mostly closed since I stopped playing music around the end of high school. BJJ brought me passion and the will to live, and the passion absolutely did not just stick to jiujitsu. It was the best therapy I ever had.

Sadly, I had to get spinal fusion for an unrelated work injury and haven’t been back since 2015. But if someone is offering their mat like this, it’s always worth TRYING. You’ll be beat and wiped out at first but if it clicks for you, you just found something that will be with you forever 🖤

They’re too busy working on a giant machine to block out the sun so we need more energy.

In Franklin Park!!

It does sound like a dope Clint Eastwood movie though

I’m newer to the area but live around there and will keep an eye out. Any more or a description?
