The Outside World

What you learn in Jiu Jitsu transfers to the world off the mat. Not that you’ll be hitting berimbolos in Walmart, but the things you learn as a result of training make parts of life easier. I’ve seen a quote attributed to Rickson Gracie that talks about how after being mounted in Jiu Jitsu, the rest of the world doesn’t seem so hard. I still think there are harder things in life, but the perseverance, confidence, and mental fortitude gained from training carries over to the other aspects of life.
