My first few years of Jiu Jitsu were kind of this way, I’d compete in order to prove how dominate a fighter I was but my fundamentals were lacking.

It didn’t take me long to get into the groove of falling in love with mastering the basics and simplifying my journey.

This is the life worth living.
