BJJ Haiku

A silly post for my silly blog. I should point out these aren’t true Haiku, as I can’t write in Japanese so you get these westernised ones instead. Still, kept me amused for a few hours on twitter whilst at work. Enjoy. Or not.

Every night I die

I am smashed more than smashing

Every night, Reborn

…

This is my Blue Belt

There are many just like it

But this one is mine *

….

Opponent in guard

Heavy, crushing,  starts to pass

I reverse my sweep

..

 

Worry not about

Your friends, their medals, or belts

It is your  Journey

..

Strong, Tall and Mighty

Smashes opponents like bugs

Wish he was my Dad

..

A fool speaks and says

“Girls can’t fight, they just pull hair. “

HA! Real girls pull Guard

 

And finally, from my good rocking buddy at training, a worryingly accurate Haiku all about me…

..

When sober pure

In drink he finds happiness

My angry friend

 .

… I like it.
