If you’re looking for inspiration when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, then look no further from Rickson Gracie. He’s one of the true legends and pioneers of the Gentle Art… Who has tons of great advice for your game and overall BJJ lifestyle.
In such a manner, he recently shared a great lesson on his Instagram profile. It’s about the never-ending evolving nature of Jiu-Jitsu:
Jiu-Jitsu never stops evolving. You’re gonna develop your senses; you’re gonna develop a better sense of timing, a better sense of vision, sensitivity, breathing, angles, leverage, maneuvers; and that will enhance yourself in a very deep layer, without asking you to become a fighter.
He emphasized how BJJ makes you discover things about yourself… And how it makes you into a better person:
And as you go into this process, you’re gonna start to discover things about you; you’re gonna be surprised how strong, how empowered you are without having to fight; and that will give you, definitely, a much better chance to seek for happiness and everything else you have in mind.
