To train in BJJ is to continually drown—or, rather, to be drowned, in sudden and ingenious ways—and to be taught, again and again, how to swim. - Sam Harris
Sam Harris diverges from his usual topics in his blog with the post The Pleasure of Drowning. Harris does a remarkable job describing what it is to train in the gentle art. He also presents an interesting view of jiu-jitsu's place in self-defense. Along with the post The Truth about Violence, Harris aims his writing talent toward martial arts and I hope it isn't a rare occurrence.
In the words of Maynard, learn to swim.
Enjoy!
