When I trained BJJ I was more confident too. I’m not sure why exactly. I thought it might be that I was shedding latent aggression I could no longer turn (unconsciously) inward, but it might’ve also just been touching and being touched by people non sexually.
I think there is a natural confidence both men and women get when they feel they can reasonably defend themselves should they need to. I did muay thai for awhile and I noticed I was more comfortable walking the streets at night and less uncomfortable with physically aggressive people. I think as a man that is important.
It's also very important for women too. I am definitely going to put my daughter in martial arts when she gets a bit older. My wife studied Krav Maga for years and told me a story of this hyper aggressive guy that was hitting on her and her friends at a bar many years ago, trying to touch them, getting in their faces and she grabbed his hand, put him in and wrist lock and said "I know martial arts, don't make me hurt you". Dude left them alone after that.

Now that she's graduated from college my daughter has considered getting back into some form of martial arts. I hope she does.

I saw you just posted jb55's embedded database news on nostr. Can you explain what this means for us tech idiots?
reply
All nostr clients store notes locally so they don’t have to refetch them from relays.
Will is making his own way to store them and making it fast.

Thanks. Amazing daily progress being made.

Yes, excellent Siggy. Now that we have him, we will hold @k00b hostage in Stacker Sports-Meta takeover and negotiate a sub of our own in exchange for his release. Some one get a bitcoin magazine so we can cut out letters for our ransom note.

That was my diabolical plan all along.

Good thing one of us had a plan.
