The lessons I've learned and un-learned by earning my Jiu-Jitsu blue belt 🥋.

Introduction

“Ganbatte”

What does Ganbatte mean? Ganbatte (頑張って) is like a big virtual high-five from Japan! It’s a way to say “good luck” or “do your best” to someone who’s about to tackle a challenge.

Where does it come from? Ganbatte is derived from the verb ganbaru (頑張る), which means to persevere or do one’s best. It’s like a motivational mantra to help you push through tough times!

Hey, I’m not fluent in Nihonggo but I love this word as it resonates in what I truly believe on how we can overcome any challenge in life by failing forward and taking those lessons as a guide post on how we can get up and stand back and try again.

WIP - stay tuned.

This page is like a puzzle with missing pieces 🧩, but don’t worry, the author is busy putting it all together. Think of it as a “Coming Soon” sign, but with code and creativity instead of a countdown timer. Stay tuned for fresh insights, innovative ideas, and maybe even a few surprises along the way!
