Knowing and Doing

The hardest thing about beginning Jiu Jitsu is connecting what you know with what you do. It’s true for everyone, some people just pick up on things faster than others. The key is just not getting frustrated. It takes time to learn a new skill and the hardest part about Jiu Jitsu is it takes as long as it takes. I stopped caring about whether I was going to get promoted at purple belt, and yet somehow, I still squeaked in to achieve my goal of black belt before 30. From someone who has been there, I can promise the journey is much more fulfilling than the destination. Focus on connecting what you know with what you do and let everything else fall into place.
