Worry Not

​I’m not saying this is not difficult, but you only need to worry about what you need to do and not what they want to do to you. I can’t control anyone but myself, so if I focus on what I have to do in a given situation, that is a more effective use of my energy. There’s no situation in Jiu Jitsu you can’t get yourself out of even if that means tapping. There’s always a way out. One of the best ways you can figure out what you need to do is to fail. Failure is information and you can use that information to do better next time. There are core things that you need to do and even if you mess them up, you get to start over. Especially in the beginning, processing the things you mess up is incredibly beneficial. Don’t worry about whether you lose, worry about what you can take away from losing to improve.
