Like any martial art, Jiu-Jitsu has fundamentals that act as pillars in the construction of knowledge. Defining and distinguishing these pillars are fundamental tasks on the path to mastery. The definition of these essential aspects is the responsibility of the masters, the desire to learn is up to the disciples.

Roney Edler, black-belt responsible for founding Sertão BJJ, based in the United States, listed 5 concepts that serve as mandatory lessons for any professor who wants to promote the improvement of their athletes in Jiu-Jitsu. Pay attention to each of these words and practice, in body and mind!

1 – KNOWLEDGE

A good professor must seek to have broad knowledge and always seek to learn, in order to transmit information and update their students.

2 – PATIENCE

Patience is an essential quality to deal with students’ challenges and difficulties. A good professor knows that each student has their own learning pace and is willing to help them overcome obstacles on and off the mat.

3 – EMPATHY

Empathy is fundamental to understanding the needs and emotions of each student. A good professor puts himself in students’ shoes, recognizing their difficulties, limitations and offering emotional support when necessary.

4 – COMMUNICATION

The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is essential for a good professor. It must be able to convey information in an understandable way and encourage active participation by students in classes.

5 – MOTIVATION

A good professor is able to motivate students to evolve and surpass themselves every day, always trying to learn more and more. It creates a stimulating and inspiring environment, encouraging students to strive and reach their full potential.
