The Hardest Thing You Can Do

A new guy came in and said this is the hardest thing he has ever done compared to what it looks like. I am far removed from not knowing how hard grappling is, but it’s a fairly popular opinion that this is going to be easy. Plainly, it’s not easy. It hurts, it’s physical, it’s suffocating, it’s just not as soft and gentle as people seem to believe. I don’t think Jiu Jitsu is the hardest thing you can do, it would be pretty far down the list in my opinion. Jiu Jitsu allows you to do things that are actually difficult because it’s not immediately gratifying. If you can do Jiu Jitsu you can endure a lot, but in terms of things that are truly difficult, grappling is a cake walk.
