I do more than playfully wrestle with my friends. As I do BJJ. I actively try to choke them out or try to break their limbs or try to tear their ligaments apart. It's very fun for all. Though while it's open to anyone I do get most people wouldn't enjoy it. It's personally physical to the extreme since on top of the close physical contact you're also sweating all over each other to the point sweat dripping in your eyes or mouth will statistically happen at least once.
Honestly if you feel like you miss playful fighting with friends, do a trial class of it.
Very poor phrasing at the start there.
I guess that's just the intentional innuendo I use about it. If you look up bjj memes (or Craig Jones) you'll find most people preempt the jokes insecure people might make about dressing up in lycra and wrestling with other sweaty men in a padded room.
Brazilian Jaw Job?
Happy cake day!
My friends take about stabbing each other, because we do HEMA. Sometimes slight grappling gets involved. Much less physically...intimate, but still very open to verbal inuendo.
Cool! Yeah, they also have Ringen which also can be nice! I tried sword fighting a couple of times but I don't like the competition form of it (also I'm bad at it).
