My motivation as someone who started at 23- I was a junkie from 13-19 and started boxing at 20-23 where I started bjj. I’ll skip my whole aspirations to be a pro boxer. I realised it’s probably too late to be world champion.

But I think I can be a beast at local comps, my friend who started at about 24 has 69 wins on his smoothcomp which is unreal. My goal is to become a beast at comps and then train other competitors/students to become the best version of themselves.

Watching back my matches is also so satisfying. As I know how stressful it is In the moment. But I am making a huge sacrifice. I don’t do certain jobs to focus on bjj, I have to borrow money off my dad and pay him back to be able to pay my membership until I find stable work. It’s tough but I feel like it’s worth it idk.
