Very nice! I was a very poor kid getting beat up all the time. I did not have a father to teach me how to fight. I used to watch Karate lessons at my local dojo. The Sensei was the best in town and very expensive. Every day I went to watch and he noticed me, invited me to train. I told him I did not have money to pay. He said you can learn for free if you come every day at 6 am to clean the dojo and the restrooms. I said, its a deal! 25 years have pass and I owed my Sensei everything...
Ari Gold tell me about it, i am going through this and tbh the thought of quitting bjj flew across my mind. this video has chinned me up and currently im a blue belt for almost 4 years but this video opened my eyes. bjj really changed me as i failed to see back then that i was nowhere the person i am today. oss!
MMA fan here, having no clue who the jiu jujitsu world champion was I searched on google only for it to come with this man. I searched here to find any videos and this was the first one that popped up. I was not expecting this, the fact that one of the most accomplished jiu jitsu practitioners can deliver such a powerful message really gives you a perspective on the life changing effect this sport has. Truly a fan now and yet not knowing the dude am super proud of his journey
Caio means "joy"; Terra means "planet earth". You are literally a joy on this planet earth. You have an impact on many people. I had similar feelings of abuse towards jujitsu at first but hid them well, taking a break but coming back stronger tomorrow. Thanks for helping so many live up to their potential. It is humbling.
I can relate 100%. I was only a white belt but I cried my eyes out for the first time in over 15 years after my first class. I knew after 1 class that I will be doing this for the rest of my life. It's the only thing I have ever felt this good about.
Caio, you couldn't have said any better. I started giving up as a blue belt and left because of prior injuries before starting Jiujitsu and felt I just couldn't do it, that it was not for me. When away is when I realized that I needed to return. It is not easy for me some times, but the support I get and how much it has helped me be a better person and have a better out look towards everything is priceless. Now Jiu-Jitsu es mi vida and mi vida es Jiu-Jitsu, Ooss!
I saw this video a long time ago, and I did not understand the message Caio was trying to give. I quit training Jiu Jitsu for 3 years after I was promoted to blue belt. Now that I am training again, I noticed that quiting was the worst decision of my life. Thank you Caio for this message so many years later. Oss
Never in my life have I ever felt so close to someone and yet be so many anchors away living that very same testimony in another country... Very heart felt... Peace be with you Caio and God bless you also... Congratulations!!!
I watch a lot of BJJ videos. This is the one. Watched it three times already. He's my new favorite competitor, he embodies everything the sport should be.
What a great teacher you had, this is everything ! I trained in Aikido putting my heart into it , I could learn technic very fast and I put the dojo first in my heart, showing up first to clean it, respecting it. I bought rugs for the Dojo, gave xmas gifts and more. But, my Sensei didn't want me there. Feeling this let down for the 3 years I trained, I could not figure out why he didn't like me. He would accuse me of things I didn't do or make small things big. Once I spoke to a member for a second on the mat and my Sensei hollered at me then began to charge at me. Aikido being a way of harmony I thought, but when I mentioned "that day didn't feel like harmony" he told me that if I came back he would break my knee. It's been 5 years now and I have never gotten over my Aikido loss. Here there isn't many good Aikido schools. I could have been a 5th Kyu but he failed me. Later asking me to retest on the things he felt I miss and I could have 5 kyu but It didn't feel right so I was a 6 kyu performing as good as higher rank. Maybe this is why he didn't like me or he just didn't want me to prosper. This would be one of the worst teachers to ever have. Aikido is an art of love and self betterment but not under the son of Sensei Kushida. Yoshokai this school in Ann Arbor, Michigan, taught by one of the best teachers ever to live but he has passed away, his son has the Dojo and it isn't the same. Rest In Peace Sensei Takashi Kushida, I love you ! What a great man to be gone.
Damn you Covid-19!!! I haven’t trained since I was 11 years old as a green belt. I’m 23 now and missing the hell out of BJJ. I am wanting to start back and receive a blue belt next year. This was so motivational! Thanks 🙏🏿
Caio is a perfectionist in all he does his teaching show thru all his black belts he promotes i come from a lineage of perfection my coach was a student of caio and now I am a purple belt studying my craft thru Caio’s teachings thru my coach I see the perfection of caio thru how my coach teaches us #cta
I have 4 kids (3 girls, 1 son) And I put my 2 oldest daughters in Jiu-jitsu at the age of 7 and 5 its now been 1 year and oldest just recently did her first competition. She didn't win, but I was so proud to see her out there. It makes me proud to know both of my girls are learning to protect themselves. I just turned 29, and I'm done having kids. I'm out of shape, and I just went through a scary situation where a man was following me at Walmart, and I had to be escorted out for my safety. I have decided I want to enroll in Jiu-jitsu. I've seen how much my girls have grown and I know in my heart and soul it will only be beneficial for me and my family! Ps. The gym we go to is called Caio Terra ❤ super thankful to have found this gym!
watched youtube to get my mind of BJJ before going to sleep, endet up watching BJJ videos and finally this. How the Hell can i sleep now without staying awake thinking of BJJ -.- inspiring words from Caio Terra again anyways :D
tell me about it, i am going through this and tbh the thought of quitting bjj flew across my mind. this video has chinned me up and currently im a blue belt for almost 4 years but this video opened my eyes. bjj really changed me as i failed to see back then that i was nowhere the person i am today. oss!
I am recovering from a torn Labrum. I am only a blue belt and thoughts of quitting are in my head b/c I am 38 years old. This video helps me see that I should continue!!! Thank you!
Great video, great message. Just started my bjj journey at the age of 24. I feel as bjj has a different vibe than any other martial art. I use to do taekwondo when I was younger and it seemed like there were always people with egos and never really wanting to help. Might just be my experience. What do you guys think?
Every time I feel giving up 🆙 I turn to this video and it literally hyped me up to do better for myself. And as that happens my jiu jitsu also shows. Gracias brother saludos de Texas!
Hi Ben, I'm a purple belt. I try to train the more I can, but some times my job activities don't let me train. I heard that Marcelo García said once that he's not the best, but he's the person that likes most jiu jitsu. For me he's one of the best. I love jiu jitsu and l like to train a lot. Maybe I'm not the best fighter, but that's not the more important. The art, friendship, support, respect, get fun is the important. Oss!
+Eduardo Nunez I am a 1 stripe white belt my friend! I have only been training for 1 month ish and I try to get there as much as I can, I am 16 years old so hopefully I will be still young when I get that black belt! I train around 5 days a week, and yes I do understand life gets in the way, but luckily at college in England I have loads of free time which is great for training!
Americans have a saying; "That's deep." People too often take their discipline and think, "How can I become the greatest boxer, or guitarist, or writer..." but they never consider the other way around. "Being a filmmaker has made me a better person." Caio's insight is for the ages.
Caio I love to train for some reason and I train at Caio terra academy and Jiu-Jitsu changed my life to live oh and the other day is saw you teaching the adults I am in the kids class butt I am going to the teens class
I've just had a 6 week layoff and have been thinking when will i go back to training?The longer i leave it,the harder it gets but tonight i'm going back to trainung. I want jiu jitsu to be part of my life.
I think that Caio's message is truly beautiful, but even though in retrospect Caio disliked his mentality, that mentality was what got him to the top. The drive to beat others was so strong that Caio achieved his goals. The ends justified the means. I don't think I can appreciate what Caio is saying unless I push myself to the very extreme and become the absolute best I can be. Because although slowly and surely you will get there training at a consistent rate, the more you want it and still persist, the more of a champion you are. Holding yourself back with the mentality of "Well I don't want to care too much about beating up other people" might ultimately make you not push as hard as someone who has the limited, short-sighted goal of beating up the blue belt in front of him. What do you guys think?
Am proud to say i got my blue belt from Caio in April.
wow, that's awesome man. well done
Excellent bro Ossss
Congrats brother. His blues are highly skilled I'm sure!
brad m ossss
lucky fuck
"It's not how good your jiu jitsu is but how good jiu jitsu is for you"
Rebeca Denise I love you that quote gonna make it my motivation 😍😍😍😍😍
this is so true of all things. It's the reason you continue to do anything...how good anything is for you.
Those are true words of wisdom.

That's awesome bro!
I love your post. Awesome!

Currently injured and having the case of blue belt blues I needed this

Lots and lots of BJJ videos online. Flavor of the month. Everyone's doing it.
This is the best of them all.
I wanna meet this guy and train with him.
I'm gonna train with him on december, he'll come to my dojo; I really hope to get inspiration
I watch a lot of BJJ videos. This is the one. Watched it three times already. He's my new favorite competitor, he embodies everything the sport should be.
The true message on what Martial Arts is suppose to be, and that is building character. Happy to see this video.
Very inspiring story I’m training terra jiu jitsu I’m less then 2 months in and ik I’m gonna be nervous when I meet him I train out of union city CA
Idk how many times I've seen this video, but it inspires me everytime
What a great teacher you had, this is everything !

Really can't understand how anyone could thumbs down this...my first time to see it and I needed this more than ever.
I am just starting my jui jitsu journey and this video is beautiful to watch.

Jiu jitsu is beautiful. I've been training for nine years and I think this a good message about the art.
