My favorite part about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that there is always more to learn, and it is a journey for self-improvement.  

The journey of developing my Jiu-Jitsu has taught me so much: self-confidence, humility, tenacity, and self-control.  

In addition, on my Jiu-Jitsu journey, I have had the privilege to meet, train, and form bonds with some fantastic people along the way.  I love sharing this unique art of movement, science, and creativity with others, helping them succeed, and learning from them along the way.

Why do you like to share your knowledge with others students, or why you think jiu jitsu is important for someone: In jiu jitsu you learn from your failure, a lesson that helps you in all aspects of life.

Why do you like to share your knowledge with others students ?

I believe that the same way jiu jitsu has helped me so much, sharing the little that I know it will help other as well. Jiu jitsu gave me the tools to face many problems in life, I’m just want to give back to the sport!
