​How much do you care about the endeavors you undertake? If it’s Jiu Jitsu, my answer is way too much. If it’s something else maybe not enough. There’s a lot of things I’ve phoned in in my life, I can admit that. I think we all have, but maybe it’s time to stop. I think unfortunately the popularity of Jiu Jitsu has led to people teaching grappling with the wrong intentions and I think it also leads to people training grappling with the wrong intentions. Martial arts are an apprenticeship, we disseminate knowledge to improve the lives of others. It is not a good or service like most others. The quality of your results are somewhat inversely proportional to your level of comfort. If you feel infallible, and like things are easy, you’re not doing Jiu Jitsu. I run the show and I don’t even feel that way. I’m not just collecting a check, so you shouldn’t be either.
