JiuJitsu is a long journey of self betterment and self discovery. You will learn not only about taking people down, choking and/or manipulating their joints, but also about yourself as an individual. You will learn how deep you can truly dig, you will learn how much you can truly endure, and you will learn that you can do more than you ever thought possible. You will learn that you have the ability to persevere far past your preconceived physical limits. A massive benefit of doing jiujitsu is the friendships you establish along your journey. Being part of a JiuJitsu academy will give you access to an entire family of training partners that want nothing more than to see you improve a long side them. In this day and age the information is readily available for anyone who wishes to look, self betterment doesn’t come from staying inside your comfort zone, it comes from consistently doing difficult things. Ten years are going to pass, so you have to decide will you become a black belt in those years or will you still be contemplating getting started?
