The Truth is in the Techniques
I am very happy and pleased to say the past few tournaments my students have participated in have all been positive experiences.  From the wins and the loses.  They all proved that the work you put in leads to success.  Competition is an excellent measurement of how the team is progressing.  We all help each other and try to push one another to achieve personal goals.  If you started with me and wanted to lose weight or become fit, it all was just a matter of time.  BJJ is a martial art that builds life long bonds and helps everyone achieve goals they have set.  The increase in motivation can be felt daily at our Dojo and that is a key factor in building a great team.
