As the World is battling the new Coronavirus, many friends and family have fallen sick. The economic situation is also disastrous with 6.65 million people having filed for unemployment benefits in the US last week, due to the devastating economic impact of the lockdown and border closing on the economy.
Now the total number of unemployement claims in the US is 9.95 million…
How are we dealing with this difficult situation as Jiu-Jitsu practitioners?
BJJ legend Rickson Gracie reached out to the worldwide BJJ community with a message of hope. The master gave some very useful advice regarding using visualization, patience and breathing to help deal with the hardships we find ourselves in.
Rickson uses visualization to keep the focus on all five senses rather than just sight.
For a grappler this means even visualizing everything from stepping onto the tatami up to the smallest details of a BJJ match.
Patience is also a virtue that you learn when training Jiu-Jitsu.
