Summary
"Leave your ego at the door." This platitude highlights our confusion. If we could leave our ego at the door, we wouldn't need Jiu Jitsu.
To develop an adversarial relationship to an aspect of one's self gets nowhere good fast. That which we resist, persists. The skillful path forward is to walk the ego onto the mat with us, like a child, and dissolve its stronghold through awareness. As a community, we stand at one end of a very short bridge to an elevated place of consciousness, to use Jiu Jitsu as a medium for mindfulness, wakefulness, and transcendence.
The author's hope is that this book begins a new conversation. One, he believes, which is more important than any other.
