To Spar or not to Spar, that is the question....
"When sparring, I hear my grandfather's voice reminding me,
to continually increase my comfort in worst case scenarios, so that one day, worst case scenarios will cease to exist...."
"If I catch my opponent, it is only because I have failed more than he has. If he catches me, it is because he has failed more diligently than I."
"My goal is NOT to attack faster than my opponent, but rather to exhaust slower than him."
"I will flow like water and take the path of least resistance, without ever losing site of my objective"
"Timing is everything, the right move at the wrong time is the wrong move."
"He chooses how he loses."
"Regardless of who I am training with, I try to remain impartial. Whether a move works for me or against me, I am equally enthralled by the beauty of the technique and humbled by the thought that I have so much left to learn on the path to Jiu Jitsu mastery."
