So I’m big into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu these days
Its known as probably THE most important skill in Mixed Martial Arts (cage fighting)
It’s what I’d call ‘gentle violence’ and its a lot of fun
As well as being brilliant for fitness, discipline and self defence
Both of my kids do it.. And my wife loves me doing it as it means I’m not getting punched in the head like I do when I’m sparring boxing
One of the other things I love about it is the social aspect of it.. You get to meet some great people and make friends when you roll around together <<< and thats actually really important for a modern man, because lets face it.. Most of us are DISCONNECTED and find it very easy to isolate ourselves
Anyhoo, the other day I’m sparring a 5 minute round with a 17 year old kid called Thomas…
He’s a killer on the BJJ mats and in the cage
We’re having a decent spar.. Back and forwards… fighting for positioning, looking for grips
And he ends up on my back.. Which, if you know anything about fighting, IS NOT a good position
I’m now fighting not to get choked…
Then he gets his arm across my throw and his hand on his own shoulder…
Its almost curtains.. Then he kisses me on the forehead and proceeds to strangle me until I tap out
^^^ Told you it was fun
Afterwards, we had a good laugh abut it and he says to me “Mate- you know what I love about you? You’re the oldest guy here and you’re fearless- you’ll spar with anyone”
Now, thats quite the compliment but UN-TRUE.
See, I DO feel fear… I mean, fighting in any form can be pretty scary
But I’m actually CURIOUS
Curious to see how I’ll do
Curious to see if I’ve improved
Curious to see if I can implement what I’ve learned
Curious to see how fit I am
Curious to learn more about myself
Curious to see how I respond to the situations I end up in
And I take that attitude into my business too… and my relationships and ANY mental challenges I face
Because the alternative? BEING HELD CAPTIVE TO FEAR AND DOUBT
So what if YOU became more curious about things that seem stressfull, or out of reach?
Your life would be very different
And imagine if you had a COACH to help mentor, guide and support you?
THAT is what I call Unstoppable
