Jiu jitsu is probably the hardest yet most rewarding thing I’ve done. It’s mental, it’s physical. Its humbling. It builds confidence and character. It builds agility and strength. It sharpens the mind. Teaches you to be comfortable in the uncomfortable.

The beauty is that there’s no bullshitting your way through it. You either adapt, learn and overcome or get dominated. There’s lessons on both ends that contributes to the rich spectrum of training. Sometimes your the hammer, sometimes your the nail.

As Bruce Lee says,
“Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose, to accept defeat, to learn to die is to be liberated from it” I think he’s touching on the importance of letting go and losing yourself in the moment. Tossing aside concepts of win/lose (because that really doesn’t matter) and opting into a fluid approach to training.

At the end of the day, it’s camaraderie. I throughly enjoy working with others on the same path. We’re all training for different reasons and it forges a unique bond. The biggest opponent is ourselves. Going to keep showing up in an act to gravitate towards a better, future-self. One roll at a time.
