I have practice jiu-jitsu for many years, and I think that I have learned something

Things I learned in jiu-jitsu.

The basis for learning a new position in jiu-jitsu is repetition, i.e. there's no point in training the position just once, to execute it "perfectly" you need to repeat and repeat and repeat...

Repetition

Yes, limits. My limits and those of my training partners, each with their own conditions and goals.

Limit

Perhaps this is the most important thing, learning that there will be good days and bad days and that each one is important to evolve.

Resilience 

Pain is part of a jiu-jitsu practitioner's daily life. Either you live with the pain or you stop training.

Living with pain.

In jiu-jitsu you have the chance to do the three slaps, but if you do that every time you're in a complicated situation you won't evolve as a person and as a fighter.

Resist 

I've left this one last because it's a bit controversial. We always hear that giving up is not an option. But there are situations where it doesn't make sense to insist if it's going to harm you. In jiu-jitsu, when the blow is landed and could hurt you, what's the option? The three slaps, it's part of the game. That way you maintain your integrity so you can fight again. You give up in the moment so that you can continue training, learning and fighting.

Knowing how to give up

I hope that make sense to you. If you don't practice any martial arts, you maybe can use these lessons in your personal life.

Does That Make Sense? 

Life Lessons from Jiu-jitsu: Resilience, Limits, and More

I think life is made up of choices and consequences.Every choice we make has a consequence and that's inevitable. Even if we choose to do nothing, there will be a consequence.So the consequences depend more on the choices than on the actions themselves.

Choices and consequences!
