thoughts from a jiu-jitsu company

Vision: I here you’re supposed to have one for your business. When I think of visions I think of Tahca Ushte, a Lakota medicine man who died in 1976; he had a vision, more than one I think.

As far as my business goes, I have a vision, but it has nothing to do with eagles like Tahca Ushte’s. My vision has more to do with people. My vision is to have a jiu-jitsu school that helps people re-invent themselves.

I know it sounds a little cheesy, but I think that’s what we do when we learn, especially jiu-jitsu, or MMA. We get broken down, our ego is systematically taken apart until we are left with a core so to speak, and then slowly we start putting ourselves back together. The beauty of it is: we are the ones restructuring ourselves; we are the ones who can re-invent us.

So my vision is simple, I want to create a place, a sanctuary, a safe spot, where people can come, and through jiu-jitsu re-invent themselves. That’s it, that’s my vision, to create a space where people can come to make themselves greater than they already are.
