It was once explained to me by Saulo Ribeiro that Jiu Jitsu academies are made up of Poodles, Labradors and Pitbulls. The poodle is the person that may have summoned every ounce of courage just to walk inside the academy, while the labrador being the more confident version who plainly enjoys the art, whereas the pitbulls are mostly motivated by the adrenaline they get from a hard training session with other killers. While the poodle is certainly not there for the same reason as the pitbull and the labrador might be one of the most successful realtors in the area, it is common to see all these individuals under one roof enjoying training together. This is one of the most amazing things about the Jiu Jitsu culture and community of respect that brings the likes of celebrities and the highly successful under a roof with your aspiring world champion and your every day joes to go toe to toe on the mats only to smile and fist bump after what some might call a near death experience 🙂
