Eu queria ficar de fora de tudo isso. De verdade.
Mas o que tenho visto na internet sobre as eleições do Brasil me fez mudar de ideia.

Tu procuras a verdade ou só queres ter razão?

Parece a mesma coisa. Não é.

Nietzsche dizia, em essência, que muitas pessoas preferem o conforto da ilusão à dureza da verdade.

E é nas eleições que isso fica mais claro.

Quando o teu lado vence, aplaudes.
Quando o teu lado erra, justificas.
Quando alguém discorda, atacas.

Agora responde com sinceridade:

Se só aceitas a verdade quando ela concorda contigo, o que estás a procurar?

Marco Aurélio escreveu que mudaria de bom grado se alguém lhe provasse que estava errado, porque a verdade nunca fez mal a ninguém.

Hoje isso soa quase revolucionário.

Quem procura a verdade quer aprender.
Quem procura o próprio ego quer vencer, mesmo quando está errado.

E há uma pergunta ainda mais desconfortável:

Condenas a corrupção, mas toleras nos teus favoritos?

Se o governo diz que chove e o jornal diz que faz sol, não escolhas em quem acreditar por simpatia.

Olha pela janela.

Não entregues a tua consciência a um político, a um partido ou a uma multidão.
Questiona todos. Principalmente aqueles de quem gostas.

Eu não procuro um salvador nem um ídolo.
Procuro uma escolha consciente, de olhos abertos para os factos, as virtudes e os erros.

Porque o Brasil que quero ver não nasce só de quem ocupa a Presidência.
Nasce de cidadãos com coragem para pensar e humildade para mudar de opinião.

Porque eu quero acreditar num Brasil que ainda não vimos.
Porque o Brasil de amanhã começa aí. 🤔 💭

Lately, life has been a lot of everything.

Teaching. Training. Building. Creating opportunities. Promoting the vision. And, most importantly, being there for my family.

Some days are harder than others. Some days you feel like you’re moving forward; other days, you’re just trying to keep everything together.

But that’s part of the journey.

You can’t build something meaningful while always choosing what’s comfortable. Growth requires discipline, sacrifice, uncertainty, and the courage to keep showing up, even when nobody’s watching.

I’m not where I want to be yet. There’s still a long way to go.

But we’re building. We’re learning. We’re grinding.

The goal isn’t to stay comfortable. It’s to become the person capable of carrying the vision.

Back to work. 🥋👊🏾

This week we’ve been working on back escapes @ultimatefight_fitness 🔥

And we’re carrying on with them next week.

Here are a few techniques we’ve been drilling 👇🏼

Save this Reel and try them out in your next training session.

If you want me to break down any of these escapes step by step, send me a DM and I’ll explain it to you.

The K-Guard is one of the slickest guards in NoGi.🔥

It’s a position that gives you so many possibilities, you can threaten the legs, create strong upper-body control, transition into different attacks and constantly force your opponent to react.

K-Guard has become a huge part of modern JiuJitsu, and there’s a reason so many high-level players are using it.

If you want me to break down how I’m using K-Guard in class, step by step, and you don’t have access to the class, DM me “K” and I’ll send you the video breakdown.

Understand the position. Understand the connections. Then the techniques start to make sense. 🔥👊🏾 taken in Nine Elms, Battersea by @rodrigo.jits

My heart is overflowing with gratitude.

Last night, you completely surprised me. Seeing everyone together one last time meant more than words can hold. And that gift… I was speechless. Thank you for spoiling me with so much love and generosity.
I will never forget it.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to share this journey with. You’ve blessed my life in ways you probably don’t even realize.

No matter where life takes us, I’m still in your corner, and I know you’d be in mine.

Above all, I thank God. Every blessing in this journey came from Him, and one of the greatest has been having each of you in my life.

So maybe this wasn’t the last dance after all.

Maybe it was just the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, one where we’re no longer connected only by jiu-jitsu, but by the friendship and family we built along the way.

Thank you for every lesson, for trusting me, for growing with me, and for becoming part of my life.

I love you all. I’ll see you soon. ❤️🙏🥋 taken in Fightzone London by @rodrigo.jits

You’re going to have moments where you feel stuck.

You’re going to fail.

You’re going to get frustrated.

You’re going to experience pain.

Sometimes you have to embrace the discomfort.

Sometimes you have to accept the chaos.

And sometimes being under pressure is exactly what gives you the opportunity to become a better version of yourself.

That’s why I say jiu-jitsu is for everyone…

but not everyone is ready for jiu-jitsu.

And why?

Because people don’t always like change.

And the hardest person you’re ever going to have to confront is yourself.

You can blame your training partner.

You can blame your coach.

You can blame your circumstances.

But eventually, you’re going to have to look in the mirror.

And that’s where jiu-jitsu gets real.

The mat will give you feedback immediately.

If you’re impatient, you’ll feel it.

If you’re emotional, you’ll feel it.

If your ego is too big, you’ll feel it.

If you refuse to adapt, you’ll feel it.

But that’s also the beauty of it.

Because every time you get tapped, every time you make a mistake, every time you struggle and come back the next day, you’re being given another opportunity to learn.

Another opportunity to improve.

Another opportunity to choose a better version of yourself.

And that’s what jiu-jitsu means to me.

It’s not just about learning how to fight.

It’s about learning how to deal with yourself when life fights back. taken in Bishops Stortford by @rodrigo.jits
