Boxer guys are very tough and they play a very tough game, but its a game. Karate guys, tae kwon doe guys, kickboxers or judo guys, they are very tough guys and a lot of heart and a lot of training, but its very specifically as a sport. It's not a fight. A fight is everything goes.

The most important thing is not victory, the most important thing is don't get defeated.

When you are on the ground, only one of you two can be comfortable at any one time. Either you are comfortable or the opponent is. Your job is to transfer the comfortable from him to you in every position

Jiu-jitsu puts you completely in the moment, where you must have a complete focus on finding a solution to the problem. This trains the mind to build that focus, to increase your awareness, your capacity to solve problems.

True strength is not always shown through victory. Stand up, try again and display strength of heart.

In life, when presented with any situation, breathe, take your time, focus and then decide what to do.

A strong body is a good asset. A strong mind is a very good asset.
