Amal Easton #134 Re-release
Q: What brought you to Jiu Jitsu?
Amal was picked on at school and his parents put him in martial arts to learn how to defend himself.
#275 Kris Olivo
Q: But then explain to me, why is this so difficult when we are in the moment?
I think it comes down to control. People don't like uncertainty and people like to control everything around them. And I think the moment you let go of control, you allow flow.
