In an interview with us Jorge Gurgel talks about what it means to live the Jiu-jtisu lifestyle and what is the BJJ mindset all about. The coach of Former UFC Middleweight champion Rich franklin and numerous other world champion professor Gurgel gives us his outlook on the sport of BJJ and what it really means to train the gentle art.
Stating:
“Jiu-jitsu is not only a sport but it is a lifestyle, Jiu-jitsu is the only martial art in the world that has no end, It is infinite. Jiu-jitsu never stops giving to you. Jiu-jitsu will never break your heart, Jiu-jitsu will never leave you. You can leave Jiu-jitsu but jiu-jitsu will never leave you. Every time I step on to the mat I tell my students, it is not about winning or losing, If you win all the time, you should look to train at a different school. In Jiu-jitsu you either learn or you win, you never loose. The ideal is if you come to class in a way you should be happier then you walked in, if you leave happy than you walked in then jiu-jitsu is for you.”
