where civility meets the art of war
It’s been said that the ultimate goal of martial arts is the refinement of the self. I believe jiu-jitsu is a uniquely powerful vehicle in pursuit of that purpose.
By playing games of infinite survival, we disrupt destructive thought-patterns in favor of developing presence, mindfulness, and resilience.
Over time, the micro becomes macro. Purposeful decisions become growth-oriented behaviors. We learn to be committed, but not attached. We cultivate confidence, not arrogance. Stumbling blocks become stepping stones.*
*All while we transform ourselves into low-key assassins. Obvi.
