Training, loving Jiu Jitsu, Yoga, finding 10th Planet, opening my mind to MORE than 10th Planet, never giving up even when told that the Rubber Guard sucks - it doesn't.

This actually fits perfectly for me as well. Yoink!
Mind dojo and mat time. Also, attempting moves in live rolling to figure out why I'm doing them wrong and then drilling to fix it. If you just drill and have no idea where the pitfalls are, you aren't really focusing on anything while you're drilling. It's kind of like when you get a guy that is there for the first time and they can't do a freaking armbar to save their lives, despite the fact that you are giving them step by step instruction.
Getting with a good instructor!!! When I say good I don't mean only just a good jiu jitsu practitioner, but also I'm describing the personality factor... I'm big dumb and slow so I need someone who is patient, encouraging, and truly cares about helping me... Brandon McCaghren is that and more and I firmly believe that all his attributes and drilling constantly is making me better and better... If you ever make it to Decatur, Alabama be sure to go train with him @ 10th Planet Decatur...
Constantly trying to learn more and more, finding yoga and stretching and realizing that jiu jitsu, fighting and martial arts never end they are a universe that continues forever so keep learning keep improving....
