Challenge Yourself Overcome Mental Barriers Every Day #jiujitsuforeveryone #martialarts #bjj

"Every day, your mind tries to convince you to give up. It's not trying to make you a loser; it's just pushing you towards what's easier. It's easier to sit on the couch and watch TV than to grab your gi and sweat on the mat. Your mind perceives a fight as danger and urges you to stop. But the thing is, you dare to continue because you want to. You want to challenge yourself. So, you have to say, 'No, I'm not giving up now. I'm going to push harder, go until the last minute, and resist a little bit more.'

If you set your goals in the academy and view the tournament as a way to test yourself, to understand how you react under stress, that in itself is already a great achievement." Felipe Costa
