   There's this article that basically says we damage our bodies because we don't #squat in the west: https://quartzy.qz.com/1121077/to-solve-problems-caused-by-sitting-learn-to-squat/ My opinion: they're right.

      @steckerhalter When I started training jujutsu I discovered that sitting with your lower legs folded beneath you is actually a thing you can do. At least after trying to do it for a few weeks. These days I naturally end up squatting or resting on top of my lower legs rather frequently.
      
      The Chinese Mainlanders and the Slavs were right all along!

      @steckerhalter oddly, I read an article about that, then I got some training at the gym that night which was 3/4 oriented around hip hinging. Strange synchrony.
