I agree with everything you are saying here. While BJJ does require a partner to practice with, in BJJ you usually roll with all different size and skilled partners. Some way bigger, some way smaller all with different tricks and techniques, all trying to put you to sleep or rip your limbs off, one after the other all in the same night. You are definitely are reminded every single time you step on to the mat, where you stand in terms of ability and skill.

I like BJJ because I am an incredibly handsome man. If someone were to Muay Thai kick me in the face and ruin my moneymaker, my hot wife would probably leave me. Then I'd have to throw a rock out my front door to find a new one that only cares about money.
