When grinding it out on the mat sometimes we can mistake the work we are doing for working out or training. It is these things superficially, but I think it is a grave mistake and disservice to the longevity of our practice when we forget to keep the Art at the forefront of our Martial Arts practice. Jiu-Jitsu is the most powerful, multifaceted and beautiful art forms in the world. So toil, work, train, learn, but don’t forget to create and love and respect the nature of the art for what it fully is.
