Your Training Is Always Teaching You Something. The Question Is What.

Every time you step on the mat, you are training more than technique.

You are training:

• How you deal with frustration.

• How you react when things don’t work.

• How you treat people who are better or worse than you.

• How you behave when you’re tired, stuck, or losing.

The problem is that most people think training is only about moves.

So they don’t notice the habits they’re building.

If you always avoid hard rounds, you’re training avoidance.

If you always rush when you’re under pressure, you’re training panic.

If you always blame your partner, you’re training excuses.

Jiu-Jitsu is brutally honest like that. It doesn’t care what you say you value. It reinforces what you repeat.

Life works the same way.

Your days are training something. Your work habits are training something. Your relationships are training something.

The question is not whether you’re training.

It’s whether you’re training what you think you are.
