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.

If you do not speak up when it matters, when would it matter that you speak? The opposite of courage is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.

If we fight for money, I'll stop hitting you when you ask me to. If we fight for honor, I'll stop hitting you when I feel like it.

Self-defence, self-confidence, discipline and self control. The values you learn are priceless.

My code of life and my personal bushido is honour, respect, loyalty, courage and surrender.

If today you have nothing to be happy about, thank God for the potential of tomorrow.

When I am fighting I am keeping my mind empty for any expectations. I am waiting for something unique, completely new.
