Top 5 quotes from Jesse in this video: 1. Its better to be kind than right. 2. Only compare yourself to yourself. 3. Be comfortable to be uncomfortable. 4. Believe in yourself that you can do something even if you dont believe you can do it. 5. Your only limit is you. And bonus: You masterpiece will come when you master peace. 🙂

Me too. Like Jesse, I value knowledge and all that good stuff. However if I'm a jerk, my knowledge doesn't really help people. On top of that, I can be right and still be toxic. That's actually really easy to do. On a macro level, I've learned a lot these last 5-6 years. Looking at the political divide during the Trump presidency, it is clear to me that both sides are toxic when they attack each other. I have opinions but, I'd rather avoid discussing them if it leads to arguing and talking shit. At this point in my life, I just want to be nice.

Really love to see this community that has emerged around honest discourse on martial arts bringing together different schools of thought. Between you two, Sensei Seth, Ramsey Dewey (and yes, even Icy Mike) and so many others, it seems like a great dialogue on what works, what is important, and what people study martial arts for. Look forward to seeing more like this!

Hi Rokas, i really liked the Interview. I was actually surprised about the things you mentioned at the end. This feeling of watching you becoming more selfcentered and selfabsorbed in your Journey did drive me off at some Point. Your recent videos peeked my interest again to follow your Journey. Keep it Up. Never stop developing yourself. That's the meaning of Budo for me personally. I enjoy watching you battling your doubts since it is the same for every true practitioner of martial arts.

thats was a cool talk, I do like Jesse's Zen mindset and what drive's it, comes of somewhat Bushido of all things so nice. seen your comment about doing a week with Chadi for some Judo, So thank you for informing me by confirming it and glad to hear it I hope you enjoy your time doing it with him as that will be your biggest motivator moving forward to try some more out. saying that Chadi is pretty philosophically driven and appears very much to be a student of knowledge as he is well read and consults with others in the field going by some the talks iv seen on his channel and the source material he puts up, that should give some fertile ground to tread for a few talks too. look for forward to part 2 of this one in the meanwhile with Jesse who has become my new favorite Mr. Miyagi.

Placing value on cold, hard facts does not make one arrogant, or cold-hearted. On the contrary, it shows, reflects that we are not in possession of all the truth or the knowledge and we therefore place value in learning as much as in teaching, if not more. It shows more humility than arrogance and one should never be ashamed or regretful for valuing facts and truth, objective truth, over the emotions.

One cannot encapsulate truth. One seeks truth, develops their understanding of truth and tests that understanding, whether against the observations of others or against their circumstances or by the struggle to achieve one's goals. None of these things are a destination. They are not truth. Truth is the journey and the journey has not ended. So if you find yourself lost or struggling to find the will to continue forward? Examine what you know and ask yourself whether there is more to know and whether, when you learn that new thing, will it confirm your perceptions or deny them. The wise man understands that neither possibility will occur. The only certainty in life by any measure, whether one's charity or frugality or preparation or temperament,or physical conditioning or any other measure in which we can evaluate our selves, their is no certainty. Circumstances will change. We will too.
