"Jiu-Jitsu, for me, had become just as reliable and appreciated as an old pair of tough boots.
I couldn't relate to most people who would claim that Jiu-Jitsu was a chore, or an unending pain, or a challenge without an additional sense of steady reward.
Grappling is an addiction, and it can be a positive addiction. The laundry list of injuries I've received during training, competing, and fighting, mostly minor and a few major, are badges of Honor and Acknowledgment of life well-lived.
This is a Passion, this is a Discipline, and when I eventually pass on, you'll find me in the Halls of the Afterlife, brawling amongst our Forefathers, smiling just the same as I do now."
