January 29 · This week I earned my blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Most people beyond my family don’t know that I train. What a journey so far! I started training in 2019, took time off due to Covid in 2020, & went back to training in 2021. There are no shortcuts in this sport. Consistency and effort pay off, just like most things in life. The depth of jiu-jitsu is unmatched. You can think of it like a graduate degree(s). Philosophies, theories, concepts, techniques, tactics, and more. It is a perfect combination of cerebral and primal activity. It energizes me and it inspires me, and amazes me every single day.Lately, I have been considering this quote, “Who are you becoming?” (Rich Roll- ultramarathoner). I think it speaks to the fact that we are evolving and changing and growing and progressing. It is a journey, it is a process, and we should enjoy that. As an educator “by day” I truly enjoy being a student at Jiu-jitsu- being curious, learning, studying, inquiring. Always wanting to know more. Thanks to my training partners – everyone of you who rolled with me, taught me, pushed me, & guided me. I am also amazed at all of the professors and instructors – your willingness to share your passion, knowledge, & time is unmatched. Thank you Sean Stewart and Teri Stewart! Now, let’s continue this journey!
Wise words Greg, for certain, and thank you. Brilliant!
