when I was younger I would always judge who was better by the result of a match.

as I got older I learned that matches are events and the winners are those who could play the game better during that time set.

it made me understand that it doesn’t matter how good we get we will never have the guarantee that our arm will be raised at the end, because being good is not the only deciding factor.

we must play well at the given moment.

thats why we should celebrate every victory like its very special, because it is.

quando eu era mais novo, sempre julgava quem era melhor pelo resultado de uma luta.

Com o tempo, aprendi que as lutas são partidas e os vencedores são aqueles que conseguem jogar melhor durante aquele tempo proposto.

isso me fez entender que não importa o quão bom ficamos, nunca teremos a garantia de que nosso braço será levantado no final, porque ser bom não é o único fator decisivo.

devemos jogar bem no momento dado.

é por isso que devemos celebrar cada vitória como se fosse muito especial, porque é.

training with my student @stevengomezjj 5x pan kids champion – next year he starts competing in the major events as juvenile and I cant wait to watch him

the best thing about experience is that you learn how to train with anybody. I enjoy training with competitors and emulating competition situations, thats when they learn the most about strategy, peace and approach.

treinando com meu aluno faixa verde @stevengomezjj (5x campeão do Pan Kids) ano que vem ele estreia nos campeonatos na categoria juvenil.

A maior vantagem em ter experiencia é que voce aprende como treinar com qualquer aluno, independente de tamanho ou idade. Eu gosto de treinar com os competidores e tentar replicar situações que eles enfrentarão no campeonato, pois isso ajuda muito no entendimento das regras, controle da intensidade da luta e como reagir a cada desafio.

fun training after worlds with my world champ student @robinbohlinjj watch more of our sparring rounds at artofjiujitsu.com/sign-up

I believe that specific training is the best way to really understand how techniques should be applied into sparring. During specific training you learn the opponents reaction and intentions for the moves and improve your vision on how to improvise and escape.

In this video I am training with my student Gustavo (green belt) and we are both doing specific training. His goal is to connect the berimbolo as much as possible during our 4min round and my goal is to respond to his attacks with different opportunities to escape.

The older I get the more I appreciate character over talent. I admire hard work and the ability to overcome like nothing else in this sport. John is a hard worker, the kind of athlete that every coach likes to have, the one that does more than is required to do. Throwing that belt to you today after you won brown belt worlds with 0 points scored against you and submitting 5 of your 6 matches in under 2 minutes made me think about the shy 16 year old stepping on AOJ mats for the first time. I look now and all I see is how much you have improved on and off the mat. You are ready to start your journey in the black belt John. Chase your dreams, fall down and get back up stronger every time, because every champion faces defeat, but only the real ones use it to light the fire inside of us. never let anyone put limits on what you can do, cant wait to see what the future holds for us. You were untouchable today.

Quanto mais velho eu fico, mais aprecio o caráter ao invés do talento. Admiro o trabalho duro e a capacidade de superaçao mais do que qualquer coisa neste esporte. John é um trabalhador nato, o tipo de atleta que todo treinador gosta de ter, aquele que faz mais do que o necessário. Jogar essa faixa para você hoje, depois de assistir voce ganhar o mundial na marrom com 0 pontos marcados contra você e finalizando 5 das suas 6 lutas em menos de 2 minutos, me fez pensar no tímido juvenil de 16 anos pisando na AOJ pela primeira vez. Eu olho agora e tudo que vejo é o quanto você melhorou dentro e fora do tatame. Você está pronto para começar sua jornada no faixa-preta John. Persiga seus sonhos, caia e volte mais forte a cada vez, porque todo campeão enfrenta a derrota, mas apenas os verdadeiros a usam para acender esta chama dentro de nós. Nunca deixe ninguém colocar limites no que você pode fazer. Eu mal posso esperar para ver o que o futuro nos reserva. Você foi intocável hoje.
