I got introduced to jiu jitsu when i was 17... Some guy took me in his basement to teach me what I assumed everything to be "karate".... Basement full of mats... No visible exit... He lays down, spreads his legs, and invites me over. I was hesitant at first but the soft smell of baking powder coming from his newly washed gi pants was so inviting I decided to take a plunge... And it fuckin hurt
