Aggressive Snuggling: From the Politics of Touch to the Poetics of Touch. In my study of  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I see many parallels to contact improvisation (CI.) Like CI, in BJJ it is absolutely necessary to commit all my attention to the task at hand because of real physical risk.

"I want to stress the importance and the place for the politics of touch to precede the poetics of touch. I believe that we can begin to work on this and at the same time have a good time learning some fun skills from another partnered movement practice (BJJ.)" - Eroca Nicols
