I knew I wasn't going to lose and that was based on the fact that I wanted not to lose.

The Jiu Jitsu I created was designed to give the weak ones a chance to face the heavy and strong.

Jiu Jitsu is a mousetrap. The trap does not chase the mouse. But when the mouse grabs the cheese, the trap plays its role.

A real jiu-jitsu fighter does not go around beating people down. Our defense is made to neutralize aggression.

For the choke, there are no "tough guys". With an arm lock he can be tough and resist the pain. With the choke he just passes out, goes to sleep.

Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger and faster than you; so that you learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength

Jiu-jitsu is personal efficiency to protect the weaker, which anyone can do. It is the force of leverage against brute force.
