@aaagent Seems we do have a couple of things in common! I also train Muay Thai, although I am currently on a hiatus from it due to a knee injury.
Tell your girlfriend to give it a try! Once they get past the initial "rolling on the floor with a bunch of sweaty dudes? eeek..." (believe me, it didn't sound appealing to me either before I started), usually people get hooked and want to learn more; it is unexpectedly satisfying. Also, BJJ is a very valuable method of self defense, especially for women!
The pictures are just from before and after the 4-week cut. I have been training BJJ for almost a year already, but I never got my lazy ass to lose some of my extra fat, and the competition was good motivation for it. I still want to do another cut at the end of next month to improve my body composition further.
Thank you so much for resteeming! Cheers :-) Following back.
