Has it ever occurred to you what it takes to be a master of something? The accepted definition of a master is “having or showing very great skill or proficiency”. In the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, to become a “master” takes years of dedication, time, and consistency. It’s a path that not many people dares to take and it’s considered as an honorable mission.
