April 2026

This book is a quick, powerful read that captures the mindset behind jiu‑jitsu and combat sports. Matakas shows how the lessons we learn on the mat—patience, grit, problem‑solving, humility—shape who we become outside of it. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to train harder, think deeper, and show up with more intention. Even if you’re not a reader, you’ll find yourself nodding along because it speaks the language of athletes who live their lives in rounds, reps, and relentless improvement.

Meeting for discussion will be Saturday, April 18th, 2026, 1pm - 2pm. It will be after open mat at the gym.

This is open to the community.
