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.

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

Physical strength (hard work), mental strength (perseverance) and spiritual strength (love & acceptance) are the keys to continuous growth.

Don't be rushed, be sure.

A 10,000 mile walk, begins with a single step and continues one step at a time.

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

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