Why?

​If you want to do Jiu Jitsu for a long time, it’s necessary to have a why. Grappling is difficult and if you don’t have a something outside of just the desire to go, it will be hard to stick with it. My personal why at this point is I have to. Effectively I am addicted to grappling, and I am not fun to be around if I don’t get on the mats. I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger do an interview where he talked about the same thing. The world is in shades of grey until he works out, then the color comes. To make it to black belt, cultivating the need to train over the desire to train is critical. The journey is too long and too difficult to depend on motivation.
