Be Selfless

One of the ways that you can improve in grappling that I'm not sure gets mentioned enough is being selfless. We all have our own stuff, but only showing up when you feel like it or when it's convenient doesn't help anybody. Work around your injuries, train lighter when you're sore, make training a non-negotiable part of your schedule. People don't show up to get beat up by the black belt, they show up for socialization, and fun. The more consistent you are, the more consistent other people will be, and the less you'll have to deal with me.
