One of the most empowering aspects of Jiu-Jitsu is learning practical self-defense.

Just kidding I’m not. It’s just me but I have my black belt now. Have I mentioned that? Well just in case…..

When they yelled speech I said “nope.”
But they just stared at me so then I said something like “the process is ongoing and the journey continues”. Don’t put me on the spot it’s not going to go smoothly 😳🤦🏽‍♀️. 

I panicked and didn’t even say thank you. So here’s my speech: 

This one taught me discipline. To keep showing up even when it sucks.  The boring, unglamorous kind of discipline. Showing up on days I didn’t want to go. Doing the drills I didn’t want to do. And it wasn’t a straight line either — there were stretches where I wasn’t really learning anything, and stretches where I actually got worse before I got better. I kept going anyway.

And honestly, more than anything, this belt is a promise I made to myself a long time ago — that I’d finish what I started. No one said there’d be no end though 😆. 

There were plenty of points where quitting would’ve been easier, or where regressing felt like a good enough excuse to stop. I didn’t, and that matters more to me than the belt itself. 🤍💙💜🤎🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Thank you to all the teachers along the way. Your jiu jitsu is now a part of mine 🫶 @caren.camblin @mikeroberts588 chrissmith
