I enjoyed these well articulated contrasts. Good food for thought and helpful for keeping a perspective oriented where you as an individual need it.

Thanks! Yeah - it's helpful for me to take inventory of where I am. I don't think everyone will have the same beliefs, but the broad categories here (competition, progression, etc.) are definitely common to people's jiu jitsu experience.

Excellent article!!! Wholeheartedly agree with every point. It’s so funny how your perspective changes as the years roll by. Makes me wonder how I’ll feel 10, 20, 30+ years from now!

Yay! I am proud to say that I've matured just a little bit in jiu jitsu. 🥲
