“Bullfight critics, ranked in rows,
Crowd the enormous plaza full.
But only one is there who knows,
And he’s the man that fights the bull.”
– Domingo Ortega

I love the above quotation for several reasons. Not only does it apply quite literally to fighting, it also applies to every choice we make in life. There are always people around you who feel they know what’s best, pulling you one way or another, and this quote is a reminder to trust your own judgment and not allow fear of criticism or judgment to hold you back. Tests and trials define character, so it’s crucial to face challenges and not avoid them.
Life will inevitably challenge you, and it’s important to challenge yourself as well, in any area in which you want to excel or advance. With regards to martial arts and mma training in redondo beach, these challenges are different for everyone, which is why it’s also important to avoid becoming a critic. You can never know another’s full story. You may believe nothing can take more bravery than stepping into a ring or cage to fight, but for some people, the challenge of stepping onto the practice mat for their first krav maga or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) class requires far more courage. It’s a “quieter” courage, but no less laudable. Being nonjudgmental and unconditionally supportive of everyone in their individual journeys (and realizing that their journeys might be quite different from yours) is part of what it means to be a martial artist.
Everyone’s battle is different…Pam and Roman are fighting this Sunday, testing their MMA (mixed martial arts) skills in front of an audience. These skills were practice by applying themselves to mma training in redondo beach. This takes an enormous amount of courage and heart, and they deserve everyone’s admiration and respect. I can’t wait to go support them! And while I’m excited for them, what challenges them is not what challenges me, or most people for that matter. For your personal success, it’s important that you find what challenges you, face it, and drown out the critics…for no one will ever know what it’s like to walk completely in your shoes; in the end it comes down to you and the bull.
