What Jiu-Jitsu Teaches About Giving Up

"What Jiu-Jitsu Teaches About Giving Up"

December 15, 20251 min read

One of the single greatest things I enjoy about Jiu-Jitsu…is the submission. 💥

The round is never over until it’s over. ✅

You can be on the run the entire match, just surviving, enduring the onslaught waiting for the opportunity to turn things around. 😓

And when that opportunity presents itself you MUST capitalize on it.

You must push the pace harder than ever…..because they messed up!!!! 🗣️

Because you may not get a second chance. ⏰

Despite all that didn’t go your way the first 90% of the match you can still taste victory!!! 🥇

This exact mindset is something I try very hard to instill in my mundane life as well. 🧠

Whether things are in my control or out of my control. I’m always looking for that “turnaround moment.” 👊

Until the “match is over” (meaning I’m buried 6’ under)……you’ve still got to stay in the game.

See you on the mats,
