My first lesson of Brazilian jujitsu
I went to a place called the Valente Brothers in North Miami. Got a one-on-one first class with Pedro Valente. He said a few things which I found particularly insightful, and I hope to be able to internalized them. (I asked him if I could borrow the wisdom and relay it to others - he said yes).
People can be physically strong, yet lack confidence, because they are intellectually untrained.
People can be intellectually strong, but insecure because they are physically untrained.
People can be intellectually strong and physically trained, yet still insecure, because they are spiritually untrained.
An animal that lacks an ability to defend itself will have a deep-rooted subconscious psychological insecurity /anxiety. Even if that animal is as conscious as a human.
Power does not necessarily require physical strength. It can involve structural strength, and the use of momentum.
I am going back for a second class!
