"I have been given the rare opportunity to teach Jiu Jitsu for a living. This is a privilege that I wake up everyday grateful for, and a responsibility that I hold dearly. I understand how rare it is to be employed through a labor you genuinely love, and one which can be used as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of others. Even rarer still, I am often reminded of the quality of Jiu Jitsu I have learned, and the opportunity to have learned it."

"The most obvious, most absurdly recognizable phenomena in day-to-day life often become the hardest to remain consciously aware of."
Mindfulness
"Our social contract is becoming an exchange of free thought for mindless stimuli."
Society
"The quality of your life is directly proportional to the positive effect you have on others' lives."
Life
"For the sincere student, it mustn't be enough to simply understand Jiu Jitsu. We must seek to understand ourselves."
Self-Growth
"Deep down I believe each of us is a well-spring of understanding and wisdom, but we simply never allow the space or time for this understanding to rise to the level of conscious thought."
Wisdom
"To know our values is to have a foundation on which to build a great life. Our environment and education will play a large part in influencing our formulation of this world view, but is ultimately ourselves that have the final say. We must decide what we value, and then live accordingly. After all, in the eyes of the world we could achieve great success, but if our actions do not coincide with what we ourselves truly deem worthy, we will find no peace."
Philosophy
"Thoreau and Huxley calmly state what I have spent years trying to articulate, and never found the words for doing so. To read the words of these great men is to read the highest expression of my very self which is inexpressible due to the shortcomings of my particular nature."
Creativity
"Jiu Jitsu provides a place of fellowship that, unfortunately, our society has largely failed to create."
Community
"If nothing lasts then everything has meaning. If everything dies that means we actually live."
Philosophy
"Relationships formed through Jiu Jitsu are deeply rooted in respect for one another, and this is often not the case in matters of modern society."

"A healthy and ideal system of education would be where a teacher would patiently impart knowledge, instead of curriculum, upon the students, only after assessing their acceptability " where a student would acquire knowledge in order to learn, not to earn " where the parents would be willing to make necessary sacrifices in order to adorn their child with curiosity and thereafter nourish that curiosity, regardless of how absurdly impractical it becomes to the eyes of the society."
