The Signs are Everywhere
Filed Under Uncategorized
My mind is always on jiu-jitsu, but some unknown force keeps showing me signs, keeps guiding me towards the art. Here are three examples:
1) I’m reading a book on surfing and suddenly the author talks about a party he goes to that is at the house of some guy named Relson Gracie. He goes on to talk about BJJ (in a book about surfing).
2) Driving in San Francisco, I see the logo for the Academy of Art University painted on a building; it’s almost ridiculously similar to a version of the Gracie triangle I’ve seen somewhere.
3) Today, driving home from the school, I saw two kids play fighting. They weren’t slap fighting—which was one of the things we used to do as a kid—these kids were trying to choke each other. Fortunately for them, the guillotine wasn’t being applied correctly.
Anyway, the signs are all around, jiu-jitsu is something I will do ‘til death, there is no escape—the signs are everywhere.
Sounds like a good book. What is the title?
