#130: 16 Years to Black Belt [Podcast]
Welcome to Episode #130 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “16 Years to Black Belt.”
That’s right. It took me 16 years to receive my black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. That’s a long time getting tapped, smashed, and crushed!
Am I bitter about it taking so long? Not at all! That’s the road I chose to walk.
You see, the truth is I love Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but it’s never been my main priority. My #1 martial art is Kung Fu San Soo. Everything else I pursue is intended to enhance that. And BJJ has definitely enhanced my Kung Fu!
So, do I recommend that you train in BJJ, too? Yes, I do! I’ve talked about its benefits before in podcast #34: Facing Death and in this video about sparring. But, of course, that’s just my opinion. You do whatever you need to do to be your best.
Still, check out this podcast anyway. Whether you’re a black belt now or on the road to one, the advice I share in this episode will help you, too.
