The best jujitsu practitioners are really serene and grounded.

It's an incredibly liberating feeling to have a skirt on. In fact, I know you can buy skirts, and you can buy work kilts and all sorts of stuff.

It's funny how sometimes you learn things off the Internet before they're actually told to you.
