Some people outside of the Jiu Jitsu community question why I train so much. Why do you practice on Friday nights? Why dont you come out with us instead of waking up for Saturday mornings class? To be honest, I think I should train twice as much. For obvious reasons, like to improve my technique for example or for overall health. But in all honesty, I think train so much to stay sain... The real world can be frightening at times. But when youre on the mats, its like everything goes away and youre finally at peace. I know youre probably thinking that Im out of my mind. Maybe I am... I mean how do you find peace when someones trying to rip your arm off.. Idk its pretty difficult to explain. Maybe someone who is in the psychology field can help me figure that part out. My theory is that when you are working with or against someone, it releases some primitive instincts which in return brings you peace. Im going to quote coach Chris Matakas here. Jiu Jitsu is the Vehicle. Not the road. Use Jiu Jitsu in the way you see fit. You control your own fate you dont have to follow anyones path but your own.
