Oss! Life through the Gentle Art.: A first hand account (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798703246993)

This book is about a mindset. A mindset I learned while discovering myself through fighting. Fighting specifically in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. This discovery came at the end of a very difficult and trying path, but the outcome changed my life. I was able to take the lessons being taught to me about mindset and implement them in my everyday life. We are going to look at the "mindset" of a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athlete, but the real audience of this book is intended to be the everyday worker. The blue, or now white-collar, worker out there in the middle and lower class grinding away a life in this world. My accomplishments on the mat include Masters 1- Gold medal at blue belt world championships, silver medalist purple belt world championships, 2 time silver medalist at brown belt world championships. Masters 1 - Purple belt bronze and gold at Pan-American championships, 2-time silver medalist at brown belt Pan-American Championships. This entire time I was competing I worked my way up the ladder at my job and became a supervisor, a SCIP-R crisis intervention trainer, a PROMOTE crisis intervention trainer, Employee of the Month, and Employee of the year. I used my lessons on the mat to make my life off the mat better. That is what my Professor, who never makes anyone call him that I say it because I want to, taught me. He taught me how to use Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to make my life better, not how to make my life revolve around Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In my commentary I am joined by a graduate level psychologist. Bryan Rottella is a classically trained psychologist and a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. He adds his professional and personal insight into the book. He co-writes the book and is talking when the wording turns blue. Kristen Martel was our editor and a lifelong friend. She is the one who edited the book and made it readable for most people. Without her this project would not be possible.
