Chris Matakas, the leading author in Jiu Jitsu and Personal Development, shares the ultimate framework through which to use Jiu Jitsu as a vehicle for personal growth.From the author:Ive been teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2008. I have seen many students use Jiu Jitsu as a vehicle for personal development, completely changing their lives off the mat through their experiences in the academy. Unfortunately, these individuals are the minority. Most students leave so much on the table. They never use Jiu Jitsu for its highest good - achieving their potential off the mat - because theyve never been presented with a clear framework for doing so.When I opened my academy in 2017, I wrote this book to teach my students how to maximize their personal development through Jiu Jitsu. Guard passes and submissions were not enough. I wanted them to learn how to use this art as a vehicle for personal transformation.I want the same for you.This book will show you HOW to use Jiu Jitsu as a vehicle for personal development, so you can get the most out of your training (and life). Among other things, you will learn:Why we need Jiu Jitsu The role Jiu Jitsu plays in the life of the developing individual How to achieve your potential through Jiu Jitsu The most pressing problem we all face that Jiu Jitsu can solve How to use Jiu Jitsu to develop our virtues How to use Jiu Jitsu to remove our vices How to use Jiu Jitsu as a vehicle for self-awareness and personal development The underlying philosophy of personal growth through Jiu Jitsu How to develop meaningful relationships in Jiu Jitsu How to achieve your potential through Jiu Jitsu How to avoid the most common mistakes in grappling Why your progress matters much more than you think This book, which I wrote as a love letter to Jiu Jitsu, has already served thousands. I hope the same for you. The more you grow, the better this world will be. I am rooting for you.Chris MatakasFor more information about Chris Matakas, and his 1-on-1 Performance Coaching for off-the-mat success, visit: www.chrismatakas.com/coaching
