Hello from DeBruyckerland! Things have been busy but great here. Last Friday was my 8 year anniversary of the kid’s Jiu Jitsu program at Pedro Sauer HQ. “When you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life.” That is probably one of my favorite quotes. I don’t know who said it but I am constantly reminded of it every day when I step onto the mat to teach kids, I have the best job in the world! Most people go to work and are completely drained by the end of the day. I do the complete opposite. I go to work and by the end of class, I’m energized! Doing that every day for the last 8 years hasn’t really felt like a job at all. Sometimes I even think to myself, “they pay me to do this..?” The time has gone by so quickly and not only have I had the chance to do what I love, I have also gotten the chance to watch my students grow up and become amazing young men and women. I am so proud of every single one of my students and look forward to many more years of teaching on the mat.
