Fighting couples
Saw this NY Times article (For Couples, a Matter of Give and Take) at The Dojo blog (another blog I check out).
Read the article.
Cool!! Wonder if this will convince AG to at least roll with me

Very few couples will use the sparring positions they adopt in boxing in a non-boxing context.
Quite a lot of couples will already be using the sparring positions they adopt in BJJ in a non-BJJ context.
I’m not sure whether this make rolling together a good thing or a bad thing, but it will certainly make a difference.

I know loads of couples that do BJJ together, including my husband and me. Despite other times that you might use BJJ in a non-BJJ situation, it never comes up on the mat. We’re too busy trying to defend the choke/armbar/heel hook to be thinking any ‘adult’ thoughts, and that’s the experience all of my other friends have reported, too.

yes, there are a few couples that I know off, and I’m positive it never comes up on the mat. That would be too weird in the middle of class!!
And as an update, I did teach AG a few submissions. We did kung-fu together a few years back too. I guess doing martial arts just isn’t her thing.
