    I went to the JRob camp in 2008 and it changed my mentality towards hard work completely. I left that camp and I wished that I was still there, training from sun up to sun down every day. Helped me become a state champion in California. It’s sad that it no longer exists

    Dear Mr. Willink, you have been a big inspiration for me. I was influenced by you and Joe Rogan to get into Jiu-Jitsu. My name is Faris and I am a 21-year-old living and working in Germany. A month ago, I joined a Jiu-Jitsu gym with prior minor freestyle-wrestling background (I trained for 4 month 5 years ago when I was younger). I am currently overweight but my body seems to adapt very quickly to this sport. The hardest part was just forgetting to give your back. I have already sumbitted around every new white belt in my gym (including people taller than me and bigger than me) I have also mainted my ego and love getting humbled, sometimes I let the opponent put me in a situation that sucks just so I can learn how to survive and never complain when I get submitted by blue belts. I have realized Jiu-Jitsu has a weakness of lacking the principles of wrestling. And I have been able to take down a lot of blue belts but then I am dumbfounded and don't know what to do exactly apart from chokes. I wish wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu become a single sport

    Excellent, excellent interview. During his college career I always viewed Bo as a bit too cocky for my liking but I've seen interviews since then and my outlook has slowly changed. After this, I consider myself a fan. My son is 12 and wrestles. I showed him some of Bo's matches and he right off noticed Bo "helping" his opponents up off the mat after he annihilates them. He totally gets the joke. It's just a hilarious final insult / non-insult / show of sportsmanship / emasculation, glad Bo touched on that.

I simply can not imagine what having that level of success is even like! Im proud for him. I hope that one day ..hopefully sooner than later He reduces the use ofbthe word "like" from his vocabulary as many of the youngsters nowadays say it ALOT.. and it can sometimes make it difficult to really listen intently . But make no mistake about it, STRENGTH,HUMILITY CONFIDENCE,HOPE This one has it and I wish him all the best in life.

    Only the very top program can recruit the way PSU does….it actually helps to emphasize the fact that they’re the best. Every recruit is fully aware of that fact…the low key professional vibe reinforces that notion. Psychologically it creates the impression that they’re not merely the best of the best, rather they’re playing a different game entirely.
