Pedro Valente has been honouring the jujutsu tradition his entire life. Along with his brothers, Pedro runs The Valente Brothers Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense School in Florida. He joins Nathalie today to discuss the philosophy of jujutsu, tradition, and finding and accepting the flow of life.
Pedro and his brothers began learning the art when they were young from their father, and by world renowned Jiu-Jitsu grandmasters Hélio Gracie, who founded the self-defence martial art system of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. At age 18, Pedro moved from Brazil to the US to attend the University of Miami School of Business Administration. Growing up, Pedro always knew that jujutsu would be a part of his life.
The philosophy of jujutsu is as important as the practice, if not more, to Pedro. It can be applied to daily life and helps to build self confidence and self esteem. By building confidence in your physical abilities, you are building your self esteem and changing your perspective of yourself. You are seeing yourself with true worth.
It is important to accept the flow of life and try not to resist change.
Jujutsu roughly translates to ‘the art of flexibility’. Resisting life and it’s changes only adds friction and stops focus. Cultivate balance and be open to change. The world needs more confidence; insecurity only breeds conflict.
