I do Jiu Jitsu so I can protect you when I fight you.

When I tap, it means I've accepted the technique, learned the lesson and look to apply the experience next time I step on the mat. I never give up.

The [IBJJF] medal has zero value. It means as much as this tablecloth right here, but people still kill themselves to try to get those medals.

Treat everyone with love and respect because they are your brother or your sister.

That race you feel you are a part of is happening only in your mind.

Once you learn to remain calm under the stressful circumstances of a fight, you will have no trouble remaining calm under the stressful circumstances of life.

Those who rush are the same ones who lack technique.
