 I strongly believe that an ego can make or break you.

Typically, whether on the matt or in the real world, either can lead to serious injuries or death.

I have witnessed people lost consciousness or broken bones. 

Ego can be a bitch. 

Stay paranoid... 🥋 
 One of my friend’s who was a professional boxer back in the day once said: “heart will get you hurt” and that shit resonated. So true. 
 So true. 
My 2nd last comp I went to some guy broke his finger sideways, got it taped by a medic then rebroke it. He still lost, but I'm like my guy it's a cheap medal, don't you have work tomorrow? 

The last comp I went to the guy I beat later got choked out. I thought he had his foot broken but they were just trying to help him regain conscious by elevating his feet. Tsk tsk.  
 Lol yeah sounds like those guys feel a need to prove how tough they are. Def an ego based flaw. Like if your life is on the for sure bang out to the fullest but destroying your body to try to win an amateur bjj comp seems reckless and silly. 
 Tap nap or snap 
 I like that one. "Tap, nap or snap" I'ma use that one and whisper it into the white belts ears tomorrow muahah. 

My comp early this year , if I didn't tap the kid would of totally snapped my leg. It was so clean I was impressed. I took it personal and now I train open matt at a different gym and call it my exam ahhaah  
 I stack naps 💤 and it works for me.  
 Wanna compare body scars? 🤣🤣🤣🙏😘
