Jiu-Jitsu taught me to view the world with a realist’s eye; in Jiu-Jitsu, you can’t fake it.
Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most authentic experiences I’ve ever witnessed in my life. For example, there are many martial arts where the instructor acts more like an actor than anything else, and you never really know how skilled that person is. In Jiu-Jitsu, that doesn’t happen. At some point, we will shake hands and roll, and very quickly, we can see who is who. I don’t mean that you have to be crazy tough, but what I mean is, if you don’t know Jiu-Jitsu and you’re just pretending to know by demonstrating moves, we can easily identify this when we roll.
And in life, how many times do we meet people who pretend they know a lot? Unfortunately, there’s no way to ‘roll,’ but after Jiu-Jitsu, I’ve become a much more skeptical person because I always wonder, if this were Jiu-Jitsu, would this guy be as good as he claims?
Anyway, maybe I’m going off the deep end here, hehe, but these are just my thoughts for the day, and I truly believe in this: You can’t fake in Jiu-Jitsu. The truth appears very quickly.
