"It's about personal development. It's about creating your own character and pushing it to the limit. It's about pushing yourself so far out of your own and everybody else's idea of who you are and what you're capable of, that you no longer believe in limits. It's about reaching beyond your so-called potential, because your potential is never where you or anyone else expects it to be, not even close. It's about being able to say with the last breath of your life "I used all my potential and all my talents and pushed myself to the limit. I could not have fought any harder."

I pursued this art so fervently because it was not actually Jiu Jitsu I pursued. It was myself."

It is simply imperative that the sweat is properly directed."

"What I mean is that those thoughts, they're human. And just because you turn out differently than everyone's imagined you would doesn't mean that you've failed in some way. A kid who gets teased in one school might move to a different one, and be the most popular girl there, just because no one has any other expectations of her. Or a person who goes to med school because his entire family is full of doctors might find out that what he really wants to be is an artist instead."
"One day the cub will become a wolf, even if it has been reared among the sons of man."

"It is only when we first do what we are SUPPOSED to do, that we set ourselves to be successful at what we WANT to do."
"When your world gets stripped down to nothing you may feel empty and naked-but this is when your space can be filled with what is new, and maybe even upgraded."
"Everyone comes into your life to give you something even if it might as if he/she is taking something from you."
"The older I get the more I realize that the only permanent thing in life is what we have within us."
