🔥 “SLIP” THE ARM 👉 This is an Osoto Gari sideways with a “slip.” A slip is a very good technique against a stiff arm. What you do is turn your shoulders and slide the arm across your body. This turns your opponent’s shoulder, and puts them off balance — then you quickly throw him sideways! 🥋

👉 Be sure to fall like a tree and take them all the way down to the ground!

🔥 You keep telling yourself, “One day… when the time is right.” But the truth is, the time will never be perfect.

I’m letting you know, stop waiting for the right moment, more time, more money, or for life to somehow get easier. That day you’re waiting for may never come.

Your mind will always give you a reason to wait — later, tomorrow, next time.

But at some point, you have to stop waiting for the right moment and start doing, or you might never get it done!

If there’s something you’ve been wanting to do, start now. Take that first step, even if you’re not completely ready.

You can learn along the way!

The best time to start is, and will always be… RIGHT NOW. 🫵

🔥 This was a great class — awesome work, team! 🫵

❤️‍🔥 It’s you versus you! Your opponent is not really the obstacle, the real obstacle is your own mind!

👉 Your opponent is simply the vehicle that forces you to confront yourself, overcome doubt, fear, and the urge to give up, and discover what you’re really capable of.

The real victory is becoming better than you were yesterday, in mind, body and soul! 🫵

Desire is where everything begins.

Real desire is an inferno inside you. At first, it may be nothing more than a spark. But when you feed that spark, it becomes a flame. Keep feeding it, and eventually it becomes an inferno.

That’s what deep desire does. It makes you keep going when things get hard. It creates the discipline to do the work, the dedication to stay committed, and the determination to keep pushing forward.

That’s called the 3-D Formula:

Discipline + Dedication + Determination = DESIRE

Your dream is the vision.

Desire is the fire that makes you go after it. 🔥
