Jiu-Jitsu advice

Jiu-Jitsu advice…..At the beginning of every year, set goals that you want to accomplish and write them on a piece of paper. It’s not too late for this. Studies show that people who write out their goals have more success reaching them than those who do not. At my Academy, I make all students turn in goals and I keep them in a folder until the end of the year. At years end, I do a 30 minute year end evaluation w them and go over their goals and help them w/ goals for next year. To reach your goals, you must have discipline and be consistant. If you disciplined and consistant, odds are you will smash your goals. Set realistic goals and set some so high that you have to really work to reach them. If you are new to BJJ, ask your instructor or one of the brown or blackbelts after class to help you. Discipline, above all things, even motivation, is what matters most. Motivation will fade some days, but it’s important we get done what we have to get done. Any worthwhile goal is never handed to us, you must fight hard for it, even when no one is around. And have fun. Reaching your goals is one of the most gratifying this we can do. “I’m not telling you it’s gonna be easy, I’m telling you it’s gonna be worth it.”
