Cum mentiunea ca initial sortul lui Kenny era alb:

Iata link-ul cu intreg articolul: http://www.graciemag.com/?c=145&a=8029&sp=1 si cateva dintre cele mai interesante opinii:

1 » Like Jiu-Jitsu.

2 » Love Jiu-Jitsu.

3 » Respect Jiu-Jitsu.

7 » Study self-defense techniques in depth, to the point of being a master. Do you want to be the kind of black belt that despairs at just having to get out of a basic choke?

26 » Learn to teach. This includes knowing how to conduct an entire class, plan the warm-up for the specific lesson of the day, match the fighters properly and put the student at ease before going home, among other things. “At brown, the promising athlete may teach a class under a black belt’s supervision, as though it were an internship, a test,” suggests instructor Raphael Abi-Rihan.

29 » Forget steroids.

33 » Fight, with all your strength, so that whatever nickname it is they gave you doesn’t stick.

34 » Accept the nickname, if it sticks.

36 » Encourage a child to start learning Jiu-Jitsu. After all, they are the future of the sport.

41 » Don’t forget to practice the basics, nor how to defend the basic moves.

47 » Study the basic history of your sport, and understand who Carlos, Helio, Carlson, Rolls, among others were, and their roles in Jiu-Jitsu.

56 » Take an unforgettable trip to fight or train Jiu-Jitsu with the team.

60 » Get turned down by women because of your ears.

61 » Pick up women because of your ears.

69 » Tap, tap, tap and tap, many times. And, who knows, maybe even pass out from a hold. That’s part of the game, and everything is a learning experience after all, until you’ve been decorated with the highest honors.

75 » Have a favorite Gracie.

77 » Make Jiu-Jitsu a lifestyle and make the most of it. To do so, you should understand that the art is not just a sport.

85 » Understand that the practitioner gains nothing from a scuffle or street fight, and they do represent a step back in Jiu-Jitsu’s struggle for recognition. As Saulo affirms, “I have never given a black belt to an unscrupulous person, or better yet, that person would never train with me because I couldn’t find it in my heart to teach him.”

88 » Learn to deal with the fear, insecurity and anxiety we all have, some more, some less than others. That is why competition is one of the best environments for us to get to know ourselves, not just as an athlete.

95 » Realize as quickly as possible that the gym is not the place to compete, and is the place to practice positions. “Only by hitting and working on your weaknesses will you become a well-rounded fighter. This business of ‘winning a roll’ is silly and limits the student’s game,” Saulo Ribeiro reminds us.

99 » Apply the cardinal rule of Jiu-Jitsu to your own life: face challenges in the simplest way possible, as this will certainly be the most efficient.
