    lead by example. LEADERSHIP : Example Inspires. Don't rush to be a teacher so fast. Enjoy being a student.

    Teaching and Doing are two different skills. You can be mediocre at doing BJJ and still be a good instructor. Likewise, you can be great at BJJ and really suck at explaining moves and putting them into context. If you want to be a good instructor, make sure you know as much about teaching as you do about jiu jitsu.
