Your first jiu-jitsu class can expose how little your toughness helps. Going back takes a different kind of courage.
Jon Friedland joins me to explore what training can teach us about Stoicism. We discuss competition nerves, judging a performance without clinging to the result, and why a black belt can leave someone's ego bigger than before. Jon explains how he keeps learning after nearly thirty years on the mats.
One question from the conversation stayed with me: what advice would you give someone else in your position? Jon uses it when he's stuck under pressure and struggling to see an option.
Jon is the founder and head instructor of Neutral Ground Academy and the author of Jiujitsu Stoic.
