Those who rush are the same ones who lack technique..

I do Jiu Jitsu so I can protect you when I fight you..

When I tap, it means I've accepted the technique, learned the lesson and look to apply the experience next time I step on the mat. I never give up..

The true mark of maturity is when someone hurts you and you try and understand their situation instead of hurting them back..

Once you learn to remain calm under the stressful circumstances of a fight, you will have no trouble remaining calm under the stressful circumstances….

The [IBJJF] medal has zero value. It means as much as this tablecloth right here, but people still kill themselves to try to get those medals..

That race you feel you are a part of is happening only in your mind..

Jiu Jitsu is about waiting for the right time to do the right move..

Spend more time in a Jiu Jitsu gi than in street clothes..

When it comes to training I do that through teaching..

Treat everyone with love and respect because they are your brother or your sister..
