​On the mats I don’t know that anyone will claim I’m nice, and that’s okay. I want you to achieve your potential, and that doesn’t always keep your feelings intact. Complacency doesn’t breed better Jiu Jitsu or improvement in general. If saying something or doing something that isn’t the most polite or kind causes positive growth, then so be it. I understand it is not always fun or comfortable, but if that’s what you’re looking for, grappling is probably not for you anyway. I would rather care and get results than be nice and produce a sub par product.
