Your rolls can get very intense when you’re training for competition
When your team mate smacks your ass when you walk out the shower
The morning after competition training…
When you’re cutting weight and your girlfriend offers you some cookies
Dieting really sucks, you’re always hungry…
When you’re so hungry from cutting weight that your stomach makes weird noises
You’re trying hard to enjoy your healthy food meals
When you’re explaing to people what is Jiu-Jitsu & why you compete: “It’s when,….you know,….like if,…euh, imagine you,….or more simply,…..if you want,…. you know,…you know,….Oh shit ! Come with me to my jiu-jitsu class, you will understand !”

You’re on a roll and you’re submitting everybody!
Your coach seems a bit distracted during your match…
When you’re out of breath after your match
You’ve made it to the finals and your opponent tries to get in your face
You pull off a impressive flying omoplata
and your teammates are impressed
How it feels when you submit your opponent in the finals
Your victory dance
Professor is over the moon with your victory!
