The Essence of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
December 19th, 2007 | by |Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be a lifelong endeavor. Even now after 25 years of training, Roger Machado (of the famous Machado brothers) still comes up with unique techniques and ideas. His devotion to the art is a spiritual one, as well as, a physical one.
Spiritual in Brazilan Jiu Jitsu?
Spiritual in the sense that his training gives him a sense of calm. He not only exercises his body, he calms his mind, and exercises his mind in strategies to submit his training partner.
If your goal is to be a tough guy from the art, then you are at the wrong place. There are many academies in the area that can accommodate you, and I guarantee, you will drop out from either injuries (training too hard) or humiliation (not able to accept defeat) and miss the essence of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
