be kind

this is more of a PSA than something to do with BJJ. It just happened to be something that happened at BJJ that hit me pretty hard.

I was working with a new guy. As I often do, I said something like "I hope to see you around again." In response, he just said "probably not," which I took to mean that he felt like BJJ wasn't his thing.

I found out yesterday that he killed himself. Even though I barely met him, I still feel a huge sense of "if only I had ....."

Be kind, people. You don't know what someone is going through.

For a long time I thought coach was talking about neon belly (knee on belly).

I guess I figured with names like banana split or kiss of the dragon, sure, why not?

What other ones are there?
