"Ego is the big reason that guys stop advancing in the sport. Because in Jiu jitsu it feels so bad when you tap."

- Eddie Bravo

"Everybody has ego. I have it too. But you have to be the black belt and the ego has to be the blue belt – you have to be controlling it."

- Eddie Bravo

"In jiu-jitsu you’re constantly reminded about how magical your body really is. Every day you’re reminded of that. You suck at a move, and then you practice it over and over and then you get really good at it and then it becomes unconscious, it becomes magical. You can just do that every day. You’re reminded that your body can master anything if you just put it through enough reps."

- Eddie Bravo

"Training jiu-jitsu with a gi is like riding a crotch rocket through a residential neighborhood."

- Eddie Bravo
