What is the hardest thing toovercome in jiu jitsu?
I'd say your ego accepting thatyou could get beat by the
smallest person.
Your ego.
Yeah.
Nice.
But if you have an ego, that'sdefinitely the hardest thing to
let go or get overcast.
Okay.
What has been the hardest thingfor you to overcome?

(02:49):
For me, it's just, I guess I'mkind of a perfectionist, so I
expect a lot of myself.
So if I, sometimes you're gonnahave off days and you have to
just accept that.
So, yeah, absolutely.
How about you?
Yeah, I mean, getting over, likejust getting smashed all day,

(03:11):
learning how to deal with thatand just remembering that it's
growth.
You know, you're learning,you're learning with others.
All right.
