Hero
The Path Through Jiu Jitsu and Life
The biggest problem that beginning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu students face is learning how to navigate the uncertainty and difficulty of the Jiu Jitsu experience. This book describes the best approach to Jiu Jitsu (and life) to ensure you are always advancing toward progress and fulfilling your potential.
Derived from the wisdom of the humanities, Hero shows us that the best path forward in Jiu Jitsu is to embody the archetype of the hero, to voluntarily confront the unknown on behalf of progress. With the marriage of philosophy and Jiu Jitsu, in this book you will learn:
- The foundational principles of a growth-mindset
- Exactly what to aim at to develop mastery
- How to avoid the most common mistakes in grappling
- How to measure success in training
- What to pay attention to in training
- The proper relationship to failure to maximize growth
- Training philosophy that can be applied in all positions
- How to lean into the difficulty of Jiu Jitsu
- How to apply this framework off the mat
- How to approach Jiu Jitsu to maximize learning
- How to apply Jiu Jitsu to the rest of your life
