The last few moments before action in Jiu Jitsu competition are some of the hardest. But then the ref waves you out onto the mat, the fight begins, and the anxiety dissolves into a pure state of flow and presence. We just need to make it through the agony that precedes both.
What helps us overcome it? Perhaps remembering what brought us to Jiu Jitsu. Perhaps holding onto that joy.
Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
