I completely agree with letting people discover the values themselves, and I really don't want to set myself up as a guru :D I think I am writing these posts mostly for myself actually, makes me think more about things when I have to write them down.<BR/><BR/>Take care my friend,<BR/><BR/>ChristianChristian Graugarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228950167523880687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557940875792393111.post-52443959765423723972007-02-15T09:26:00.000-08:002007-02-15T09:26:00.000-08:00What up Christian!?

I have some constructive criticism for you. =)<BR/><BR/>IMO, if you present BJJ as anything more than a way to have fun with your friends (i.e. handling emotions, and pressures), you set yourself up to be a guru of sorts.<BR/><BR/>I do address the mental side of the game (mostly various ways to relax with the intention of feeling energy), but leave it up to the individual to see the possible value in incoperating such ideas into other areas of their lives.<BR/><BR/>Being the fun, open, and caring guy you already are speaks volumes to people!<BR/><BR/>If there is anything I've learned in the past few years is that is a person is preaching something, they probably aren't doing it. <BR/><BR/>Action is the only message I'm interested in hearing these days. =)<BR/><BR/>BTW, the 'five swords' presentation was wonderfully originally!<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>Jeff<BR/><BR/>PS Hit me up via email at mr_murgatroid@yahoo.com!Jeff Wassomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162029608964292736noreply@blogger.com
