Just a little over 2 years ago (exactly 2 years ago, as I recorded this episode of my Thriveology Podcast), I started studying jiu jitsu. At that point, I had no idea where it would go. I have a life-long interest in martial arts, but had not practiced since being a teenager (tae kwon do at that time).
I knew I wanted to try something out, to take on a challenge. And it was winter… so maybe a way to get some exercise inside would make sense. As soon as my kids (both adults) left after Christmas… and when I knew the new insurance policy was in place… I started.
It has been quite a journey! I am just a few classes away from getting the first stripe on my blue belt. My blue belt is now several months old… making me an advanced white belt! Still, I am far from where I was when I started.
At several prior junctures, I have reflected on my learning process in jiu jitsu — and how it applies to life — so I thought it was time for another.
