Every episode is a quest to understand the deeper meaning of the martial arts as well as being in the world as an individual who is part of a greater community.
Josh Skyer
These Podcasts offer an interesting and refreshing conversation in the martial arts.
Thank you for this. We all look forward to more. OSS!
It doesn't all have to be about points & competition!
I love listening to what these Professors have to say! It's comforting to know that you can train Jiu Jitsu for the sake of better understanding the art without developing or needing to drain cauliflower ears.
People can have JiuJitsu in their lives for so many reasons. Whether as a hobby, workout, to build self esteem, to enjoy the journey, or to study the art for the sake of the art, etcetera.
Others use JiuJitsu as a way to abuse their training partners, bringing them selves up by drowning the other guy. Rolling solely to compete! With a mindset that repeats the mantra "Me, me, me, all the time every day". Never stopping to think that it's his training partners sacrificing a lot, however Mr. me, me, me still considers his training partners "opponents"!
It goes without saying that they will be the next world champion in the octagon as well!!!
I intend to train for as long as I can. I can only see that happening if I have a relationship with my fellow training partners who have like-minded attitudes...
It's all about the journey, in the words of my professors (listed above) have taught me that there is no summit.
After all said and done, JiuJitsu translates in Portuguese to the "gentle art".
