Self-awareness
"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."
