Ragen is such an inspiration as a feminist and activist. <br /><br />I am appalled by Heather's story. What this Facebook-poster/Supplement distributor did, assumed, and said is so tasteless and so incredibly bigoted (because I can think of no word more apt). But kudos to Heather and her friends for fighting back. <br /><br />You are right; most of these memes promote only one type of beauty, which is why they have to modify so many images. It bothers me that my image is associated with a page that promotes that type of body-shaming.Train.Fight.Win.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02904655367925825449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315716024590366780.post-40251112122471564922013-07-05T16:13:20.171-07:002013-07-05T16:13:20.171-07:00This just happened to a fat-acceptance blogger, to...This just happened to a fat-acceptance blogger, too—she's a gym veteran who recently had her picture stolen and used as a fitness-motivator meme, captioned "everyone has to start somewhere."

What I mean is - there was one day that my first coach started talking about how to defend yourself on the street and he started talking about bar fights. Honestly I wanted to walk out. My reasoning - wtf - I'm not going to be getting in a bar fight!<br /><br />Then some friends brought up this idea of self defense, and interestingly enough - I got very self-defensive about that. I absolutely do not want to learn BJJ for self defense. I want to learn it to be better at BJJ. <br /><br />I think that perhaps that emotional trigger stemmed from what you were talking about - I am doing BJJ because I LOVE BJJ, not because I'm concerned about being a victim. I never want it to ever be thought that I step in that gym day to day because of any other reason than I want to get better at BJJ and learn this skill better (okay, and to keep fit). <br /><br />Do I think that BJJ can give a woman an edge over a non-trained woman if she's attacked? Sure. But don't brand me as a self-defense gal - brand me as a BJJ gal.Jiu Jiuhttp://jiujiubjj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315716024590366780.post-90794279095052637712012-08-19T01:49:38.879-07:002012-08-19T01:49:38.879-07:00I really like Cyborg.

But, I also agree with the above poster who says - it's absolutely not the only reason she was winning.<br /><br />She's a maniac! I also changed a bit of my opinion on steroids after watching the pseudo-documentary "Bigger, Faster, Stronger" and I can intellectually understand why someone would take steroids - I'm 36 and I can't train nearly as much as I'd like because holy crap my bag of bones gets worn out quickly. If you're a professional athlete, having that edge can be critical. <br /><br />I think Ronda coming around has breathed new life into WMMA, which I think overshadows Cyborg's news.Jiu Jiuhttp://jiujiubjj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315716024590366780.post-38284916987978743042012-08-19T01:43:07.569-07:002012-08-19T01:43:07.569-07:00"I agree that many of their products do not a..."I agree that many of their products do not appear to empower women, but to fetishize female fighters or at least to promote animosity and cattiness amongst women"<br /><br />Ugh! I completely agree! I really dislike when companies claim to "empower women" but it turns out all they're REALLY doing is trying to get money from the women who care about that. It's one of the reasons I love Fenom gis so much - the owner is a BJJ practitioner, and they support Girls in Gis, and several women. They put their money where their mouth is, and I could never imagine them using straight up sex to sell their products.<br /><br />FightChix disgusts me.Jiu Jiuhttp://jiujiubjj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315716024590366780.post-78152982966041483542012-08-19T01:39:15.128-07:002012-08-19T01:39:15.128-07:00I do love Ronda Rousey - and you're right - be...I do love Ronda Rousey - and you're right - before her, I only knew Gina and Cyborg.

I made small, permanent changes and slowly lost the weight.<br /><br />I recently set a 20 lbs in 20 weeks challenge for myself (and my readers) and have been trying to use that as mental momentum for increased weight loss. It's most recently been about cutting some calories, although on days when I've done 3+ hours of BJJ it just isn't enough and I'm absolutely ravenous.<br /><br />I've been reading a bit about different body types, and I think your experience with Paleo is very cool to read about - if only because it gives a different perspective other than what I've mostly been hearing. I don't adhere to paleo, although sometimes it's easier to say "I do paleo-light" than to describe exactly what I do (usually avoiding white-carbs and drinkable calories). <br /><br />Thanks for sharing - I know not everyone would!Jiu Jiuhttp://jiujiubjj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315716024590366780.post-90869152877679113472012-08-19T01:28:04.864-07:002012-08-19T01:28:04.864-07:00This is what I wrote on my Facebook:

I see so many pro-curves pics nowadays that bash skinny women - with phrases like "only dogs like bones" or "real women have curves" which are just as hurtful as pics that bash fat women. Don't hurt people on your path to self love, and don't put down one body type to proclaim your love of another. Hate is hurtful, even when disguised as tolerance.Jiu Jiuhttp://jiujiubjj.comnoreply@blogger.com
