Today I am overwhelmed with gratitude for all the blessings in my life. My mother in law (ONJ) taught me about the power of gratitude and I was just overcome with emotion thinking about her. If you are feeling down, see if you can find something small for which you can be grateful. Share it with us if you feel like it. I’m grateful for my wife and my dogs and Rickson and Cassia and jiujitsu and health and all of you friends. ❤️🙌

I started this group to share what I’ve learned from Rickson and others over decades of training. If you’re new, comment on this post and tell me what you’re interested in. Technique videos, tips for how to apply jiujitsu principles to life’s challenges, funny stories, collaborations with other teachers, avoiding and healing injuries, finding a local school to train, self defense stories, pearls of wisdom from Rickson, live stream Q&A, online lessons, workout plans, diet advice, competition prep and strategy, breath-work, or something else. I go live on Saturdays answering questions and sharing what I’ve learned. I’ll be making posts about your interests as well so comment here. Check the calendar for upcoming events.
