I do Jiu Jitsu so I can protect you when I fight you.
That race you feel you are a part of is happening only in your mind.
Those who rush are the same ones who lack technique.
Jiu Jitsu is about waiting for the right time to do the right move.
The true mark of maturity is when someone hurts you and you try and understand their situation instead of hurting them back.
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.
