Jiu-jitsu is honest, man. Or sports is.
you have to work for it. A stripe in your belt. Details of a move, direction of your toes. You saw issues in practice, you thought to fix them. There is no shortcuts of it.
consistency is the basic key. Show up. Practice when you don't feel like it. You need the time in gym.
You earn the respect in compete.
It's honest as fuck, maybe an antidote to too many other things in life. I am so in love with it.
Presence.
