"There is nothing like another's perspective to remind you that your way is not the right way, it is simply your way."

Philosophy

Quote_1.png
Chris Matakas
"I wanted to get to the most essential aspect of my being, and look around for a while. I wanted to explore what I am in my most basic self. I wanted to chip away at all of the nonsense I have acquired through my twenty-nine years on this earth. I wanted to find truth. Thoreau went to the woods. I went to the mats. Jiu Jitsu has peeled the veil of daily life, and has shown me what lies beyond the curtain. We willingly accept the chains that circumstance forces upon us, and we grow to find comfort in them. We attach various fetters of day-to-day living to our being, and we do so with a smile. We accept these constraints for they come in the way of comfort. We accept conformity for it appears the path of least resistance. We strive toward the middle, and we run from ourselves."

Philosophy

Chris Matakas
"We have an obligation to ourselves to foster the environment that allows for our self-actualization. Rather than my gifts serving me, I must serve them. I want to be a steward of the best aspects of my character and assist them in their fulfillment through proper discipline and habits."

Communication

Chris Matakas
"In mastering one thing, you have mastered all things because you have learned how to learn."

Mastery

Quote_1.png
Chris Matakas
"The knowledge you acquire in an area of study is accompanied by an incalculable ignorance. The farther we get into anything, we learn that we have even farther to go."

Learning

"The highest aim was never to master Jiu Jitsu, it was to master myself."

Mastery

"It is a shock to many college graduates that their segway into the real world is one of obligation, profound debt, and countless sacrifices of the soul."
