You are a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. How did you come to be so proficient at that particular martial art?

I began practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu at age six. What has made me so proficient is hard work. I would make small goals for myself, such as competing in an upcoming tournament, and do everything needed to be successful. I would study others registered for the tournament so that I would be prepared.
