Five things you discover in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that apply to every day life.

Some people call Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a lifestyle, and for many that stick with it that’s exactly what it becomes. After a while, you notice many parallels between your time on and off the mat. You start to take the lessons learned from each, and apply them to both whether consciously or not. There are probably dozens upon dozens of examples of this, but these are the top five that pop up in my mind.  

1) Learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations

2) Before taking action, remain calm and assess the situation

3) Adversity is rarely permanent so work to overcome it

4) Humility is key to bettering yourself

5) Growth isn’t measured by comparing yourself to others, it’s measured by comparing yourself today to how you were yesterday

Some of these lessons become apparent after a few months of training. Some, especially 4 and 5, may not be evident until after years of time on the mat. I like to think that because of these lessons, jiu jitsu makes good people better, both on and off the mat. And although that may not be true 100% of the time, it's what we strive for at Bodhi Collaborative BJJ.
