Brazil

I have recently taken up the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu..this 'grappling' art involves folk impersonating fighting ants for long periods before somebody does something so devious and mean that the other someone submits. I was attracted to the Brazilian version rather than the Japanese version for stylistic reasons...plainly put Brazilians are demonstrably cooler than Japs, whether they are cavorting on the beach, brushing golden locks, or simply putting the 'O' into thong. Added to which those breezy South American folk, whilst not nearly as whizzy with the soldering iron, never broke 'big frank' whilst making him construct railways (as reported by my good friend P).

Last night, for the first time, moves I attempted worked! I was truly evolving - and had it been a school disco rather than a sweaty dojo I would have pulled a beauty..

I also have a much greater appreciation and respect for ants, whilst it may look like they are resting when they do those cute little ant clinches they are in all likelihood 'hanging out of their little anty arses'.

As mentioned you can't really fault this...
