I really only train to be better than I was the day before. When I was younger I cared about ranks, competitions and things like that but with age, family and work commitments my training purpose is different. At a session with Jacyn Flynn at the North West No-Gi Camp he asked everyone to write one sentence that described their Jiu-Jitsu. At the end of the session he went back to that thought and revealed his was: Jiu-Jitsu with purpose.
What is the purpose of your Jiu-Jitsu training? I find as long as I am training and practicing Jiu-Jitsu with purpose it is always satisfying and rewarding.
