Even though BJJ is a martial art, the learning it provides practitioners goes far beyond just fighting techniques, it teaches them about life. 🥋
It teaches about respect above all, about how respecting your opponent and yourself is the right thing to do.
Through focus, consistency and discipline success comes, both in Jiu-jitsu and in any area of life. Knowing that the path is long, but continuing to follow it is what will define where you will end up.
Stay strong! 💪
