“Jiu Jitsu is meant to serve us, not the other way around. It is meant to make you more of whatever it is you already are. It is meant to separate the wheat from the chaff. It is meant to bring to conscious attention all that once went unseen. It is meant to make you more loving. It is meant to make you more wise, but less certain. It is meant to make us humble, yet supremely confident. It is meant to remind us of our frailty while simultaneously making us feel invincible.”

“Who you are as a person far outweighs what you do in an athletic arena.”
Chris Matakas“There are no trophies for the real victories in life.”
Chris Matakas“Jesus was not a carpenter forever.”
Chris Matakas“Every interaction with another is an opportunity to serve.”
Chris Matakas“Your happiness is in direct proportion to the amount you serve others.”
Chris Matakas“Service, it seems, is the only antidote to existential frustration.”
Chris Matakas“Life is always easier when lived for others, and living for others is the best way I know to live for yourself.”
Chris Matakas“There is no higher calling than the service of your fellow man, and to do so through your own personal mastery of a craft is a gift enjoyed by few.”
Chris Matakas“To base your self worth relative to others is to play a losing game. If you are at the bottom, you will be filled with self-loathing. If you are at the top, you will be filled with self-aggrandizement and ego. This will most certainly be one of your greatest obstacles to achieving whatever degree of mastery you are capable.”
Chris Matakas“I believe the devil exists in those little, seemingly unnoticeable moments when we choose to value our own insecurities over the service of others.”
