At our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school, we believe that there are both good and bad aspects to learning this incredible martial art. Which one would you like to explore first? Well, let's dive into the less pleasant side of things and get it out of the way.

The Bad Thing About BJJ: It Never Ends

One undeniable truth about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that it never ends. No matter how many years or hours you dedicate to this discipline, there will always be something new to learn. Somewhere, someone is innovating a fresh way to execute a submission or a sweep, making the world of BJJ endlessly fascinating.

Even after 36 years of studying this art, I still encounter something new almost every day. So, if you ever aspire to claim that you know everything about Jiu-Jitsu, you're in for a formidable challenge!

The Good Thing About BJJ: It Never Ends!

Surprisingly, the good thing about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also that it never ends! Yes, it may sound paradoxical, but let me explain. As Napoleon Hill wisely stated, "the person who stops studying merely because he or she has finished school is forever hopelessly doomed to mediocrity, no matter what that person's calling." In essence, the way to success is through the continuous pursuit of knowledge.

Now, think about it - do you want to be "forever hopelessly doomed to mediocrity"? I certainly don't, and I'm sure you don't either.

In alignment with Napoleon Hill's philosophy, Guillobel Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu believes that we should never stop studying the things we are passionate about, including those related to our profession. This not only deepens our knowledge but also keeps our minds sharp, which is crucial for our overall well-being.

Let's be honest; most people don't think this way. But if you do, you're placing yourself in an incredibly advantageous position.
