things you should do before reaching black belt
1 » Like Jiu-Jitsu.
2 » Love Jiu-Jitsu.
3 » Respect Jiu-Jitsu.
4 » Learn to apply the right amount of force and technique, so as to fight as long as you can without tiring.
5 » Learn that the belt is not the only objective, but the result of effort and learning. One whose only objective is to get the new belt limits one’s own potential, which is always enormous and unknown. Rather than focus on that, worry about developing technical aspects of the fight.
