Its because it expresses everything inside of you that u feel for this art .Does the same thing to me .Congrats on brown belt

[@bigreg47]

Congrats my brother. My God Bless your journey. Much respect.

[@TheGermino]

What I love about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is that no matter how good you are, there is always someone that could make you look like a white belt. BJJ is so good for creating a great athlete. Instead of throwing a ball around or just sitting on the bench, everyone gets involved in BJJ, no matter what skill level someone is at. I also love how BJJ is just knowledge. Tapping out is admitting that we aren't the best, but it shows that we still have to learn. Black belts are just white belts that don't give up.

If A Black Belt Is A White Belt That'll Never Quit Does That Make The Black Belt A Junior White Belt?

[@tidouble1]

At 37 I have decided to start learning jiu jitsu. For a long time I made excuses. I told myself I was too old to start, too out of shape, or that I did not have enough time. I know now this was life offering my resistance that I must overcome. I am still very new to this amazing art, but it already has had a profound effect on me. No matter how shitty of a day I am having, after a jiu jitsu class I always feel infinitely better. The air almost tastes sweeter, and I am happy and grateful to be alive. So in the words of the great Kurt Osiander "GO TRAIN!" OSS!

[@danjoebak]

Cheers to that from another 37 year old white belt!

[@tidouble1]

Much hespect my brozhino

[@bgpinoy]

You guys inspire me. I am a few years older than you. I have done martial arts my whole life. But BJJ has always been in the back of my mind. I tried it for a few months...but I think the teach just wasn't right. You just kind of know...makes sense? I've always looked up to Rickson. Now his son Kron is doing very well. I am still in my journey to find the right school and then maybe find myself in this art so that I can add it to my lifestyle. Thank you.

[@deanlister]

get into it my bro!!

[@meredithchandler73]

I started jiu jitsu at the age of 38. It is now 3 years later and I still love it. Due to work, an ill family member, and injuries, I have not been able to train consistently over the last 3 years and I'm not a blue belt yet. But I'm still working on it. :)

[@paxton011]

I am 50 years old being training martial arts and boxing since I was 8 years old being doing Jiu jitsu for just over 1 year now, BJJ is the best thing I have ever done.

[@nabzalrash4955]

Catch wrestling / no gi grappling did all this for me and still does now. It makes me look at life from a different perspective. I know my vulnerabilities and my weaknesses and understand where I need to improve but at the same time I'm more confident. I don't have a false sense of security like what fake mystical martial arts give you, I'm aware of my humanity and how life is just a bunch of small choices and as such I don't fear adversity anymore. Respect to all martial arts brothers. Sambo, Muay Thai, boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Kali/escrima. I hope you all find clarity in what you do.

[@GZod-li9oq]

I left JJ as a blue belt over 7 years ago due to life and the curveball I was unable to hit until now...mainly ego. It took me 7 years to lose it, and accept humility. The lessons we learn on the mat, and relationships we make, both transcend the tangible rewards we fool ourselves into chasing. It's the intangible that truly helps us find the person within that we always wish to be. I wish this was a lesson I learned so many years ago, but I thank God that he helped me find a way back to this beautiful art. Godspeed to all my BJJ brothers and sisters. Great video, Stuart. Thank you.

Don't ever give up rolling. Life will suck, you'll hate yourself, and feel miserable every single day you don't roll. Never let "life get in the way".

[@chokeout412]

I love Jiu Jitsu, even when I have to KZbin videos on how to re-set a popped rib and manage injuries all the time. It takes a special kind of person to put up with the pain and go through this journey. Respect for you all. For the last year, I have days when I want to stop doing it, then I leave class on the same day euphoric and high.

Stuart, this video has stood the test of time. It still carries such a profound, powerful message. Thank you in 2014, thank you in 2021, and thank you in the future

[@stuartcooperfilms]

Thankyou 🙏

[@timmetcalfjr.7451]

This video still gets me every time. There's a lot of things I regret in my life, but waking up, going to class and training is NEVER one of them. Even on my worst days and the days I was injured I am thankful that my body can move and what it needs to do. Next to having my son, Jiu Jitsu is the best thing I have in my life today. Lovato Jr's observation that: You intersect with so many people that you would never talk to had it not been for this martial art really hits deep and you don't realize how different but the same we all are.

God has blessed my life and kept me safe (you can get injured doing martial arts). when you start martial arts at 3 years old its hard to imagine what life would be like without training. im sure I would be a different person without it. for people who do not know, there is alot more to it than just the fighting you see on ufc. it really is a way of life.

Its took me a while to sorta reset and hate myself enough to wanna get back into training, In that time I've completed some serious bucket list stuff, and now I've randomly hungry to get back to Jits... I've just rediscovered this video that I watched daily 5 years ago while I was in a really dark place, Didnt realise how much it helped me, and how much my team helped me... can't wait to get back on the mat.

[@panick_9550]

I've been doing it for 2 months today and it's helped me more mentally than anything I've done in my 23 years on this planet so far it got me through losing one of my childhood freinds not even a week after I started my journey to better myself. Just being on the mat makes things easier for me it just pulls me out of my mind even when I mess something up and start to get hard on myself it's nice knowing that everyone around you has been at that stage before and is willing to help you get past it. This sport has changed my life in the short 2 months it's been in my life so far and I'm exited to see where it takes me

[@alexferguson9856]

I suffer with anxiety and finding it hard ta get into class. I've talked to an instructor and he's Gunna help me over come it. Can't wait ta get started 🤟

[@stuartcooperfilms]

Bro i used to suffer with a lot of anxiety before i started my Jiujitsu journey. i remember my first day turning up to my very first class. I looked through the window and was terrified to go inside. I turned back around to my car and said to myself I'm not going in there. As i started to walk away my Professor opened the door and saw me. He invited me inside so then i had no choice because i didn't want to be rude. He asked me if i was going to train and i said no i'll just watch for today. But he made me feel very comfortable and introduced me to everyone. After a few sessions of watching i realized there was nothing to be worried about. Each time i turned up to train the anxiety got less and less. At first i could barely look people in the eye and wasn't used to shaking peoples hands. It took a good year or so for me to really open up and get comfortable. 11 Years later I'm teaching Jiujitsu for a living and helping other people feel comfortable who walk through the door as that used to be me. This is why i make videos on the sport to show people how this sport can really help you in your everyday life. All the best Alex! keep showing up and it gets much easier and more fun as time goes on.

I've only been doing it for 7 months and there is nothing more in the world that I love more than jiu jitsu. It's simply the best thing ever created. I will dedicate my entire life to practicing it, as it makes me better in every single aspect of life. I have a hard time even sleeping at night because of how excited I am to wake up and go. I even decided to take a job for less money just so I am able to train the amount I want. Thanks Jiu Jitsu

[@peterdwyer9798]

I whole heartily agree with Dean Lister. We as humans were not meant to work the way we do in this system. That's why so many people are sick and depressed. The whole system has no time for passion. It's slavery without chains. It's imperative that you make time for your passions in life or WTF is the point. Luckily iv came back to JJ later in life I'm nearly 40 but it's never too late. I will never stop now until the day I die, it's not about belts for me, it's about learning and simply loving what I do.
