Seeing Kron trade punches with someone, I don't feel comfortable with that exchange. I'd never do that. But seeing him do that, I see he's confident, he's trained, and he wants to test himself.

The core of jiu-jitsu is finding yourself comfortable regardless if the guy wants to punch you in the face, if he wants to head-butt you or throw you on the ground. So that's the concept.

Something my dad would say was that it's not important to win, but it's important to know how not to be defeated. The art of invincibility is the most important attribute in Jiu-Jitsu.

Jiu-jitsu is an animal that never stops growing.

In my case, I was representing my family name, honor, legacy... I did not see it as a sport requiring winning or losing a game. For me, it was honor, tradition.
