Listen to this before you even start!

Well written, insightful, and inspirational. This is a book you can keep going back to again & again and always take away something new. Shorter than your average podcasts & packed with immediate applicable advice on how to enter into the world of jui jitsu. Class still seems like and endless matrix of black holes, but this certainly provides a map and compass for your best approach through your whole journey. His other book is enjoyable as well.

Bad narration

I liked the content but the reader sounded like a robot. I think a different reader would have made the difference between good and great.

Relatable and inspiring!

I loved this short and inspiring little book. I’ve been training jiu jitsu for two years now and the concepts he talks about are helpful to me, as I’m still a beginner but also have some understanding of the game. He covers a lot in a short amount of time. I think it helps me love jiu jitsu even more, as he put into words sone of how I was already feeling but couldn’t quite make sense if it myself.

Good information

Great listen for anyone who’s starting out or even on the fence about trying out a martial art or in need of self help.
