If youāre a student of mine, youāve probably heard me say this:
āEveryone wants to be in the spotlight but no one wants to face challenges that put you there.ā
What this meansā¦
Most people want easy fights š
But not my students.
Life is greater when we face big challenges and overcome them.
The cool thing is that if thereās a big event, thereās guaranteed to be an Atos fighter competingā¦
Because every time we bring the fire š„
For example, last Thursday, Kade Ruotolo fought against a really tough opponent: Natan Cheung.
Natan is always on the podium at all the major IBJJF tournaments.
He has defeated many world champions beforeā¦ Heās TOUGH.
But Kade put on a show AND secured his victory in an outstanding performance.
You probably saw the highlightsā¦ What makes this crazier is that it was Kadeās first performance wearing the Gi.
ā
You see at Atos, weāre dedicating ourselves not only to become champions but also to impact the BJJ community.
Weāll continue to fight the best, and do our very best.
Because thatās the only way to say for sure: āwe are the bestā āļøš”ļø
Iām proud of our students.
We need to keep on facing the things that take us out of our comfort zone.
We need to face and embrace each challenge and if we donāt achieve the outcome we want we know we will grow with that and we will learnā¦
Thatās the mentality of champions š¤
Letās go!

P.S. This week I wanted to give more students access to my masterclass, āDealing With Closed Guard From Top Position.ā
This course covers techniques that are fundamental to Jiu-Jitsuā¦
But I often see high-level students make mistakes in this position.
Itās frustrating when you donāt have a strategy for escaping this very common position.
Thatās why I built this course.
Until Sunday, you can get 53% off this masterclass.
Just use the code TOP53 at the checkout.ā
