Are you someone that people commonly think of as a jiu jitsu intellectual? Do you get hours and hours of enjoyment from watching footage, discussing technique strategy with your teammates, and theorizing on the most obscure aspects of the grappling arts?
Then do I have the guest for you. Evelyn Ting talks about what it's like to be a cerebral observer and practitioner in jiu jitsu. It's filled with a lot of questions, some answers, and a whole bunch of comments about the human condition.
While the sport is like a playground for an intellectually-curious individual like Evelyn, it also is not without its moments of insecurities and challenge. That's when we learn that even though we love cultivating our minds, we can also enhance our lives by taking care of our heart and spirit.
The way that Evelyn sees the world is quite unlike the way that most of us see it. Listen to her carefully, you'll learn something new about yourself, others, and the world.
