"I always try to attack. While I'm on the offensive, my opponent can think of nothing but defending."
"The more you attack, the more your opponent will make mistakes."

"I wasn’t a good student, and even now I never say that I am better than anybody, but I know I love Jiu Jitsu more than anybody. I love the energy and that it gets deeper the more you study."
"When I step on the mat I know there is no other place I'd rather be."
"Everyone is the same for the first two minutes, everyone has a chance to win, but after that you start to seperate physically and mentally."
"Sometimes I just want to be with my family and watch movie and eat some popcorn. But when I step on the mat I know there is no other place I'd rather be."
"Why do I beat a lot of people? Because I love it so much, that’s why. Everything about Jiu Jitsu, I love it – the school, the mat, the ring. I always believe that. Maybe I am not better than my opponent, but I know for sure I love my training more."
