Ultimate Goal in Jiu Jitsu?

[Justin W.]

What is your ultimate goal in jiu jitsu? A moment where you could say to yourself "I did it". Some wanna win gold at ADCC, some wanna win gold at the mundials, some do it just to help their mma, some wanna have their own gym, some just want that black belt, some just do it for fun etc... What is your ultimate goal in jiu jitsu, something you wake up every day to push towards and what would you imagine you would do after you reach your goal and/or what would you do if you failed that goal?

my goal when I started was to get my black belt faster than bj penn and win worlds at black. Tried my best but I obviously failed lol

I don't think I will ever be satisfied.

[Kyle Spalla]

To be able to roll for my whole life. I don't care if I ever win worlds or get a black belt. The ability to simply train and be healthy and happy is all I need.

great first two responses. very encouraging to see.

ultimate goal is to enable myself to smoke weed and roll all day, if that means i teach some classes, thats whats up!

this is tough honestly to prolly win a gold in a tourney I was never able to sports when i was a kid cause my asthma was so bad so i never have experienced that feeling of actually winning something big. I may be older now but this truly my chance to shine at something and now also I want to set an example to my son that with goals and hard work that you can achieve your dreams.

I wanna teach. I wanna get a decent enough rank to be taken serious when I share jiu jitsu. I wouldn't mind a gold medal or 20. But in the end, I just wanna teach. I wanna share jiu jitsu with whoever wants to learn it.

Lose weight. Teach the system.

[Mike Seabrook]

My goal is simply to fully express who I am through my jiu jitsu and to help others do the same.
