As Threads becomes a Txitter cesspool that seemingly ignores any attempt at recalibrating...I come here and there's an instant flood of nature things 🦋 finally I can grin again at how wild this planet is when humans do their job and observe things ❤️

It's finally starting. After spending 2024 travelling Europe visiting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gyms I returned to Kenya with a view to support and create a women's self defense and BJJ community.
The inaugural women's self defense workshops sold out and happy doesn't even cover how I feel 🔥🔥

Oh shit, when did we break 300 here?! I said if it broke 300 I'll actually put some effort into showing up on here and somehow we're at 312 already.
Uh, howdy, I guess 🤣

People don't talk about "reverse" culture shocks enough. I come home to Kenya after 23 years to discover it's adopted a very American "Car everywhere" mentality which farts in the face of my European public transport and walking upbringing

Nearly 2 months in Kenya and the main thing I am disliking the most but if course slowly tackling is having to finally sit with the questions:
Who am I
What do I want
Can't I go support everyone else like I've done for the last 30+ years? This sh*t's scary 🤣

BJJ long game includes listening to your body when it tells you you're about one bad takedown away from actually needing to get your slightly frozen neck checked, so opt to taking 2 weeks off 💀
But we all know the itch to go to the mats never goes away that entire time.

I'm no longer galavanting across Europe, visiting gyms and just vibing with the culture. I'm now completely isolated from a plethora of high level gyms and getting after it in Kenya with the few gyms here. So the BJJ journal is coming back.
If you "journal" what kinda things do you note down?

Good weekend for the boys! Norman won his Muay Thai fight even though the temptation for Judo takedowns was strong in him. Ouhsummer debuted and won his MMA fight in Kampala with an inverted armbar in under 2 mins 🔥

"Respawning" back home means reconnecting with family but losing your in-person friend set and hobbies that kept you sane. But what's life without challenges 🫡🇰🇪
