Level 🆙 Take-Aways
- At The People’s Jiu Jitsu, he focuses on identity-building — helping others become who they need to be, not just chasing tap-outs 🥋
- Peak performance isn’t about being yourself under pressure — it’s about stepping into a crafted identity (alter ego) built for battle 💥
- Motivation is fleeting — it’s the systems, discipline, and rooted identity that keep you going when energy dips 🔁
- Instead of chasing hype, Eric studies greatness — watching legends like Sugar Ray Robinson to dissect what made them unstoppable 📽️
- Eric teaches his students to set goals around what they’re bad at — because growth lives outside the comfort zone 🎯
- With kids, he preaches balance — training must be fun until the child chooses to get serious. Burnout ruins potential 🧸
- Eric’s wife, Amanda “Tubby” Alequin, is not just a world-class black belt — she’s one of his greatest teachers and motivators 💪💞
