Say Uncle
A recent conversation with a co-worker:
Me: I'm thinking of signing The Boy up for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Co-Worker: Dude. You can't be serious. How old is he?
Me: Two and a half
CW: Do you know what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is?
Me: Isn't it that Brazilian dance mixed with a mock martial-art? The Boy loves dancing.
CW: That's Capoeira.
Me: What's the difference?
CW: Capoeira's is about music and dancing. Jiu-Jitsu is all about choke-holds and submission tactics.
Uh... yeah I think Caporira is the one we want. Although the idea of The Boy choking out another toddler at playgroup makes for a fully excellent visual, it's probably not appropriate playgroup behaviour.
