BJJ Meditations 27 | The point of Jiu Jitsu competition

My purple belt was no more than three weeks old, and I was standing in the bullpen waiting for my round to start at a local competition. The guy I was supposed to fight was visibly nervous and making small talk with the other competitors. I'm just here to have a good time, he said. Really, I thought. I'm here to win. But was that the point of Jiu Jitsu competition? Without a doubt, yes. But also, no. :-) Some weird thoughts and reflections on all of these things in this week's BJJ Meditations.
