“So, if you like cough chunks start flying, as I was trying to explain What it means to train. So somebody came up to me at the end of practice today and they're like, man, I keep getting tired or I keep quitting or I had a couple people that just tapped from the position that I was in or that they were in. And so hurry up and fail is this mantra of I want to get to the breaking point of where I can't go on any longer and I want to stay there because then the next time I train, that wall has moved ever so slightly, but it's moved. So then the next time I can go in and I can get to that point as far as hard and as fast as I can and I can stay there. So the next time it's going to move and repeat until finally if you look back months later, you've progressed so far. Today I was at On Academy and we did the exact same workout we did two months ago. Same weight. And what two months ago left us on the ground like almost heaving.”

“I think you have to look at the origin of what things are and then the abomination of what they become. What you see is these really... The genesis of a martial art Had to learn how to protect themselves, or they didn't have weapons, so they had to create something to fight the dictators that were killing them or there were Samurai that were really good with swords, so then the ninjas came along to use stealth because if you fight a ninja head on, you're going to die. So let's create something new. And then over time, That loses what it is, you know, like you have to be able to competitively practice something to get good at it. So then you can implement sport. And that's what kind of differentiates a lot of these different jujitsu or a lot of these different martial arts.”
