At what age were you into L & C

When I was around 8 , in judo class while sparring a girl lifted me.
That inadvertently awoke something inside me.
I was not able to spar further though.

Started earlier than i can remember possibly.
Probably some scene from a cartoon i watched as a kid.

I’ve been interested in it as long as I can remember. I wonder if it has something to do with being smaller than average as a kid.

hey! me too, because it starts early on for most of us here

also, the smaller and lighter you are, the easier and more likely it is to be lifted

how small are we talking? were you very skinny as well? how big are you now?

this may be related to the development of our self image or perception while growing up, perhaps in a subconscious way

I was always shorter than average and much skinnier than average. I’m 5’11” and 200 pounds now. You might be on to something with the developmental self-image or perception. That makes me think.
