The most important thing I’ve taught in 20 years of BJJ has nothing to do with chokes or armbars. It’s a lesson I hope no kid ever needs…but I want them to know it before they ever do.
I take this seriously enough that I won’t even award a child their first belt from me until they know it.
You don’t need to be a martial arts instructor to teach this one. You can explain this lesson right now while driving them to school, or even over the phone if you have to.
Please pass it on.
Be well. Do good. Take care.
