I started with the boxing modality where my teacher also taught. I took 4 weeks of classes and jiu jitsu “called me”.

It’s important to have goals, because when you don’t know where you want to go, anywhere will do. Setting goals brings clarity to the path. It helps you set your goals and work even harder to achieve them.
