The Artist v The Athlete written by Margot Ciccarelli
It’s combative art - a live canvas if you will, but the paintbrush is the player and the canvas is the mat. There is so much freedom to what you can do and the feeling can’t really be described to the tee, but to me, it is blissful and liberating to roll with someone who especially connects to this same trail of thought - the seamless ability to flow from technique to technique and transition effortlessly as a unit - a work of collaboration on a certain level until you find your window of opportunity to submit.
