Dojo Discernments
Hi all! Here is your weekly dose of Dojo Discernments where I share nuggets of thought gleaned on the mats!
What I'm Chewing On
Most gum is packed with fake sugars that mess with your gut and spike cravings. Xylitol gum is different. It actually helps fight cavities by starving the harmful bacteria (like Streptococcus mutans) that feed on sugar and cause tooth decay. Studies show it reduces plaque buildup and helps remineralize enamel. It wonât spike your blood sugar or mess with your digestion like sorbitol or aspartame. I pick mine up at sprouts but you can find them at more and more stores. Itâs a small, clean habit that adds up.

"The difference between making it and missing out is rarely down to last-minute effort. It's the steady work that stacks up while no one is watching. It's making the process so routine that you no longer think about how long it's been because you don't think of training as a temporary state. It becomes your baseline - part of who you are and what you do. â "
Doubt or Belief?
You can feed yourself doubt, or you can feed yourself belief.
Whether you are starting a project or at near the end of a big goal, seeds of doubt will try to enter your mind. Will you choose to water these seeds? Or will you choose instead to empower yourself with self-belief?
Quote I'm Pondering
"Live slow Fast"
We often seem to chase mountains, dreams, and goals but at the expense of enjoying the moment. This oxymoron really distills down what the goal of pushing ourselves really is: so that we can cherish the moment.
What's Next?
WNO 28 is tonight in Costa Mesa and we have Purple Belt Alyssa Luna of 10th Planet Fullerton competing. Luna has been at work for years to transfer her collegiate wrestling experience to jiu-jitsu. She fights to make jiu-jitsu more than a passionate hobby but a living. She is matched up against Rana Willink, daughter of Jocko Willink, of Legion Jiu-Jitsu. Come support live or send your spirit bombs! Promo Code: LUNA.
