I do. I also practice jiu-jitsu, but it has less flying and more rolling around on the ground and getting choked. Still kinda fun, though.

Welcome aboard. If you enjoy controlled falling just for the fun of it, you should take up judo or aikido. You get to do lots of flying, you just make it to the ground sooner :)

Still within motion
Passing faces their
Graceless offering
Like books on the shelf
You can read
But are promised
Nothing

Each day
