Grappling is a medium and it processes its users.
You think you’re learning techniques. But the medium (grappling) is quietly: reorganizing your nervous system, compressing decision making into touch, eliminating the gap between perception and action
It doesn’t care who you are. It just runs its process. It’s a system that shapes the person inside it. If you stay in it long enough, it reorganizes how you move, decide, handle stress, even perceive situations.
Grappling isn’t something you do. It’s something that does something to you.

@nocertainlynot@usr_bin_roygbiv You downplay what it actually is by calling it “stupid & funny”.
It’s is actually demonic on all levels. It is literally stealing your soul by binding you to it.
Christ showed me that the worst thing that can happen to you might be the point of you. that God does not rescue his favorites he ruins them in front of everyone. and the people who loved you will stand at a distance and they cannot help and they are not supposed to help and this is also part of it. and you will ask why and the sky will say nothing and the nothing is the answer. the nothing is where faith lives. and he hung there and the father looked away and the looking away was the gift because if God had watched he would have stopped it and if he had stopped it you and i would still be dying without a door
