Five years ago I lost my house, divorced my wife and moved to 🇧🇷 to study Jiu jitsu! I'm currently teaching the Little Freaks at 10th Planet SD. I'm currently studying under Boogie and Geo Martinez😍😍😍. I'm definitely living the dream!!!

[@leviwhite4570]

Been BJJ for 2 years i never really liked soccer or rugby but when i staryed bjj and mma ive never been more happier, stronger and confident

[@jasonlazar6459]

I'm a 40 year old blue. Just had another major injury set back. I was going to do the unthinkable and hang up my Gi for good. Watched this video.....now I'm going to come back stronger !

[@brandonmcninja]

Jason Lazar stay strong dude. I’m 39 so I feel that struggle! Just treat your body with respect and you will have a lot of training still in front of you! I recovered from neck surgery! You can do it!

[@jasonlazar6459]

@D. Jiu-Jitsu thanks and good luck !!

[@MTD4dz]

Did my first ever class this morning, it was awesome, I only got tapped about 20 times! Still felt like a winner for getting through it. Can't wait for next one!

[@brandonmcninja]

that's awesome, man! congratulations! keep me updated on your progress!!!

Are you still training?

Keep going bud! I just got my Black Belt 2 months ago after 13 years. You've got this!

[@6400loser]

I've been doing Muay Thai for 6 years and just the past few months started training MMA, trying to pick up wrestling and BJJ. I can't say enough how much I needed that: the psychological shock of something entirely new and that joy and fire to learn. I finally landed my first submission in an MMA sparring session where I used a sweep from underhook on my knees to side control to an Americana. I couldn't remember the last time I felt so happy and grateful to everyone who helped me train. It revived my love for Muay Thai in a way I would have never expected, and a whole new world is there to explore. Thank you, grapplers.

[@brandonmcninja]

Oh man! What a cool story! Thank you for sharing!

[@WilliamMcDaniels92]

Me AND my son start the journey this Saturday! This really sealed the deal for me! Thank you!

[@brandonmcninja]

Oh man! That’s fantastic! I want you to keep me updated on your progress! How old is your son? Will you be in the same class?

[@WilliamMcDaniels92]

brandonmc.ninja I will definitely keep you updated! My son is 6 years old and just as excited as me. Our Saturday classes will be separate but back to back. No classes together as far as i know. Ill sit through his and then he will sit through mine. Were checking out the 10th planet in Royal Oak MI!

[@WilliamMcDaniels92]

brandonmc.ninja Day 1 complete for both of us! Definitely a humbling experience! Very very fun though. Me and my son are now addicts.

[@brandonmcninja]

Awesome man. Don’t push him too hard. Just let him play and enjoy himself and build the skill naturally. Train hard, but don’t worry about it he’s “getting good.” Just let him play the art.

I started BJJ 2 weeks ago. I get destroyed every day, but I freaking love it. That’s how you learn and try to get better each and every day. I wish I would’ve started it 10 years ago.

i checked my ego at the door of my dojo. ya gotta fall to learn. you are so right , people love their comfort zone , it hard to make yourself uncomfortable , but its how we grow . and live life to the fullest

[@sarahbliler3241]

I started bjj 2 1/2 years ago and it’s been life changing! I just came across this and everything said about Brazilian jiu jitsu absolutely resonates with me! I’m a 126 lb, 5’ 2” female and the mental and physical confidence I have gained from bjj is incredible, along with learning an amazing skill. 🤩

[@utubeisshite]

I'm 2.5 years in - one of my best decisions in life was to start BJJ.

[@markmceathron2013]

The irony here is that I saw Brandon's original video on this several years ago. When I finally made it to the gym last year, met him for the first time, I told him that his video on failure is what brought me there. Everything of value in my life was achieved through failure.

[@brandonmcninja]

[@Srvelis82]

First competition this Saturday. Awesome video. Great motivation

[@bspi624]

Truth, failure is a motivator if taken the right way. I have only been training for 2 months, but this week was the 1st time I did not tap out due to fear of not breathing. I lost every roll but it was a big win for me.

[@brandongamble8311]

I needed this before class. Had a hard day at work, now I am ready to train.

Been training around 7 months now in Gi. I started going twice a week then 3 times and now 6 days a week. Got my first stripe last week. It's so addictive and I have never been so fit. Best thing I ever done

[@lcdoc1510]

Got destroyed in my third competition this past weekend (after doing well at my first two) and after feeling quite low I'm glad I've just come across this video. I needed to hear this today 🙏

[@monstertruckfred]

I have enjoyed bringing Nolan to your gym. He has grown so much as a person since he started August 2018. His confidence has grown and he has a great outlet to relieve himself of his energy. Nolan loves Jiu-Jitsu. Thank you.

[@brandonmcninja]

I know I’m not supposed to have favorites... but I think Nolan is one of my favorites 💕

[@CuriousGuy12]

Got into a fight lost and been lacking of the motivation for anything I hope with this I can come back stronger

Just ordered my GI, next month I will start it! Never tried any martial art,. Im excited!

You’re gonna love it! Take it slow and don’t put pressure on yourself

[@TroverVision]

i'm 215 days in. "thank you" i started @Sleeper Jitsu in Seattle and the C-19 kicked in and i remembered a jits lesson: DONT LET FEAR CONTROL YOUR DESTINY So i started watching your videos and ive done some form of training (even just a mile run/ or line drills or ab crunches) Starting at 54 i was concerned about people giving me odds look on how i would perform on the mat. im not concerned anymore. it may take me months to return to the jits gym and my professor, but for now i watch u + 10th and drill. even if it takes me 10,000 hours until i can return to earn my BLUE but until then i fail, and i fail, and i fail knowing there is no time limit and i can fail as many times as needed to earn my promtion. thank you, for getting an old man on the mat. im coming now. perhaps one day i can thank you in person. maximum respect, jaesen

Right on. Stay strong and keep training

Four and a half years years in purple is already here, best choice I've done, start practicing this art, i just wanted to start when i was younger but its never to late to star, if you think the world is collapse beneath your feet just go to a jiu-jitsu academy and try it you wont regret it and if you like come on over again and again until you realize that jiu-jitsu is not only a combat sport is a family thing and your problems can be resolve whith the help of the others. Nice video keep it up.

Going to my second class tonight, Was blown away of not only how hard it was but how satisfying it was afterwards

[@johnnikol66]

Was doing track and field which i still love but i found the true meaning when i started bjj. Best thing i ever did. Now I'm a blue belt and still going.

Keep grinding, my dude. Perseverance is one of the greatest qualities, but you don't get a chance to sharpen it without some trials.

[@brandonmcninja]

Dude, thank you so much. I'm glad you've been able to get some value from my videos. Thanks for watching and being part of the Tribe.

[@RenAtkins]

About two years ago, at the age of 44, I walked into a BJJ gym for a trial just for the heck of it, and now I look forward to every class and can’t get enough. It’s the best, hardest, most rewarding, most humbling thing I’ve ever done, and I can’t imagine life without it. I hope this video encourages more people to try it. It’s truly life changing.

[@markmceathron2013]

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” - Teddy Roosevelt
