In 27 years of the Martial Arts I've never asked, pleaded or even hinted towards recieving a rank, award or an edge in a contest. I believe in the truth of Jiu Jitsu. I give everything to Jiu Jitsu, and in return Jiu Jitsu gives me everything I need. I've all ready won, I couldn't ask for a better life Jiu Jitsu has provided for me.
When I was a teenager I had a qoute I wrote on everything school books, folders, my signature for forums, etc. I then later schoffed at my past selfs lack of "deepness", only later again to turn full circle and realize I was a fool for doubting its meaning to me. It's simply "I live to train, and train to live". As I've matured in my journey, I'm come to realize that qoute is simple, However its all I need fuel my drive.
