In 1971, when a little boy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil attended his first class of Jiu Jitsu, he couldn't imagine where his father was bringing him. The skinny 9 year old boy became a student of Grand Master Mansor and won many medals at the state and national level.

 The BJJ academy has many “classrooms”, from the vestibules, the mats, to the locker-rooms. The people we meet in the vestibule are encouraging and delightful. The education we get on the mat is priceless. We all know the value of a great teacher and mentor. On a personal note, that is why I hold my professor, Milton Regis 3rd degree black belt, in such high regard. Yet there is something enormous to say about the atmosphere and friendship that is built in the locker room.
When people struggle, sweat and face their fears together, there is a strong and special relationship that is formed. An intimate bond so to speak. Coming from a man that can’t remember what he ate for breakfast, let alone specific words spoken amongst a group of warriors, there is a deep feeling of peace, camaraderie, safety and vulnerability that one cannot ignore or forget.

As some of you know, the other subject I am studying (besides Management) is Probability (otherwise known as the science of luck) and one of the topics I am covering now is called random processes. These are random sequences of random variables*. An example is a man very-drunkedly walking home from the pub.
