With #jiujitsu never compare yourself to others. Where’s the positive in that?

Jiu Jitsu is life’s medicine.
It’s YOUR medicine.

Think twice before taking someone else’s prescription.

Every exchange in #jiujitsu has elements of both security and opportunity - understand their interplay.

The moment your jiu jitsu centres on both, you win.

“Learning to breathe is like learning to live. We’re are guaranteed only two breaths in this life: our first and our last. We can waste every breath merely existing, or we can use every breath to create meaning and experience the true miracle of life.”

“The big, strong, tough guy goes to class and he keeps getting tapped by the skinny technical guy. It begins to change him. It makes him humble. That’s what Jiu-Jitsu does to you. It makes you humble.”

#JiuJitsu provides our daily struggle - a level of adversity; a measured hardship. One we all need. Without adversity we don’t grow.

People dodge adversity because they’re scared of it. They’re scared to fail - ego is a bitch.
