Okay, so I started looking into this Kelani Jordan thing recently. Heard the name, saw some highlights, you know how it goes. Decided to actually sit down and watch a bit more closely, figure out what the buzz was about.
First thing I did was just watch a couple of her matches. Didn’t really know what to expect. Wow, she’s athletic. Like, really moves well in the ring. Smooth and fast. It wasn’t just one specific thing, more the overall energy she brings. Seems like she enjoys being out there, which is cool to see.
So, I spent some time trying to break down what makes her style stand out. It’s not like I’m a wrestling expert or anything, just curious. I noticed she does a lot of gymnastics-type moves, which looks pretty difficult. Tried to imagine the practice that goes into that. Falling down a lot, probably. Getting back up. Doing it again and again.
Trying to Understand the Process
This got me thinking about practice in general. Not just wrestling, but anything you want to get good at. It reminded me of when I was trying to learn how to bake sourdough bread a while back. Sounds silly maybe, but stick with me.
I followed the instructions, watched videos, everything. My first few loaves? Total bricks. Seriously, you could have built a house with them. It was frustrating.
- Feed the starter. Wait.
- Mix the dough. Knead it. Wait again.
- Shape it. Proof it. More waiting.
- Bake it. Hope for the best.
It took so many tries just to get something edible. Lots of failures along the way. You don’t see those failed loaves when someone posts a picture of their perfect bread, right? Same with watching someone like Kelani Jordan perform. You see the cool moves, not the hours and hours of drills and mistakes.
So, my little “practice” with Kelani Jordan was basically just watching, thinking, and connecting it back to other stuff. Realizing that getting good at anything, whether it’s wrestling or baking or whatever, takes a ton of unseen effort. It’s mostly grinding away when nobody’s watching.
It’s a good reminder, I guess. Makes you appreciate the performance more, knowing a bit about the likely journey behind it. Just putting in the time, day after day. That’s the real work.
