To me
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is more than a hobby, its more than a sport; it’s a way of
life, a true martial art. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a constant challenge that I
present to myself on a daily basis; it’s the challenge to eat healthy foods, to
keep my mind sharp, and to keep my lifestyle clean. The challenge from
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu comes from within; the true source of the challenge is not
external.

For me, I do not compete with my
training partners, but with myself, to be the best grappler that I can be, the
hardest worker that I can be, the best version of myself in the moment, in
every moment that I can be. In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu one cannot hide from
themselves, from the reality of who they are, as ones true self comes out on
the mat. Those who cannot be constantly humbled never seem to make it, but
those who are secure with themselves spend a lifetime perfecting the art.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu has given me more
than I can ever give back to it. It gives me the confidence to reach my goals
in life, and the ability to protect my family without any pretense. Brazilian
Jiu-jitsu has also given me the confidence to reach all of my goals in life, to
live what I believed once were just far away dreams. What does Brazilian
Jiu-jitsu mean to me? It means everything.
