Summary

We will develop only the strength our environment demands of us. When our environment fails to challenge our depths, we are tasked to create one that does.

Practitioners across the globe continue to use jujitsu as a tool for personal development. For many, the jujitsu academy is the one place in which we purposefully practice virtuous action. On Jiu Jitsu seeks to codify the mechanisms by which jujitsu shapes the individual, as the character traits required to achieve mastery in sport are the same that our highest humanity requires.

It is the hope of the author that the articulation of these benefits will ensure the listener's continued practice of self-mastery through this sacred medium.

Philosophy for life through Jui Jitsu

Great application of philosophy. Choosing a difficult path forces us to achieve our potential in more ways than we realise

Superb

This audiobook is brilliantly narrated, perfectly complimenting the content, which is without hyperbole, profound. I got this because of a deep interest in BJJ, but the philosophy and wisdom expressed by the author is applicable to everyone wishing to improve themselves and serve others better. Highly positive and enriching piece of work, a gift.
