Coach Phill asks all of his black belts a question:
“If I gave you 20 times every dollar you’ve ever spent on Jiu-Jitsu, but you could never step on the mats again, would you take it?”
Not one of them would take the money.
And that says everything about the value of Jiu-Jitsu.
The years of training, the sacrifices, the setbacks, the friendships, the lessons and the countless hours spent on the mats. You can’t put a price on any of it.
The skills and knowledge you’ve developed weren’t bought. They were earned.
Through discipline, dedication, persistence and showing up, even on the days you didn’t feel like it.
Money can come and go, but the knowledge, confidence and experiences you’ve gained through Jiu-Jitsu stay with you for life.
You can put a price on training. But you can’t put a price on what it gives you. 🥋
