Nobody talks about this… But Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t just build confidence It kills the fake version of it. At first, you’re loud. You want the tap. You chase submissions. You celebrate wins like they mean everything. But then something shifts… You start getting quieter. Not weak just… aware. You realize nobody in the room cares how many times you tapped someone with a half-ass collar choke. And honestly? Neither do you anymore. Now you care about different things: How you’re controlling their posture from guard. How your grips are forcing reactions. How your hips are creating angles they didn’t even see coming. Winning stops being “I tapped him.” Winning becomes: “I made him move exactly where I wanted him.” You stop forcing submissions… And start letting them come to you. That’s when Jiu-Jitsu gets dangerous. And weirdly… That’s when life gets better too. Because that same shift follows you off the mat: You talk less. You listen more. You stop trying to prove something. You start trying to understand everything. You become harder to shake… because you’re always learning. Always adapting. Always grateful just to be in the room getting better. So here’s the real question: Are you still chasing taps… Or have you started chasing understanding? Be honest.

Jiu-Jitsu is lowkey unhinged… and nobody talks about it 😂 Like we really out here: Scheduling fights with our friends 🤝 Arguing about who “won” while both of us are sweaty and dying 😭 Getting excited over things like… “bro I survived” SURVIVED WHAT?? YOU PAY TO BE HERE 💀 And don’t even get me started on how normal this feels now… Someone’s knee is in your stomach, you can’t breathe, life is flashing before your eyes and your brain goes: “Okay okay… frames… shrimp… don’t panic… we’re good 😌” WE’RE NOT GOOD. But also… we are? And somehow this turns into: Therapy 🤝 Friendship 🤝 A personality trait 🤝 You’ll see the most normal-looking person… then find out they casually choke people 4–5 times a week for fun. No explanation. Just vibes. Jiu-Jitsu isn’t just a sport… it’s a shared delusion that somehow makes life better 😂 Be honest What’s the most unhinged / weirdly normal thing you’ve experienced on the mats?

LFGGGGG!!! This one right here is earned… not given. Ronaldo has been showing up EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Studying. Training. Grinding. When nobody’s watching… he’s putting in the work. That’s what this journey is about. That’s what separates people. He is the epitome of ALL IN. 💯 No shortcuts. No excuses. Just pressure, consistency, and growth. Blue belt isn’t the finish line… it’s the proof that the system is working. Now the real game begins. Proud of you bro, keep rolling, keep leveling up, and keep setting the standard for what it looks like to go ALL IN. LRSSSS GOOOOOO FAMILY!!! 🔥🔥🔥 OSS 👊

It's really anyone's guess! Personally, I only see it growing exponentially. And it's this generation (us) who will lead the way. What do you think it will look like in say, the next ten years. And where do you see yourself at that point?

What are some of your favorite side control submits? One of my favs is a knee spike!
