Rare Air:
Every jiu-jitsu practitioner has a unique motivation to train. For some, it is to become a World Champion, for others it’s exercise, or just to learn something new. The list goes on. Of the myriad reasons people commit to jiu-jitsu one thing ties them together: personal development.

The culture of an academy contributes to the improvement of each individual on the mat, just as each individual contributes to the culture of the academy. Neil Soderstrom spoke to the “rare air” of Atos HQ, and how it creates a culture of excellence.

So, what is rare air? How is it created? When a group of individuals get together and push each other to raise the bar every day, that is rare air. It doesn’t matter what the goal is or how close or far from it you are. Rare air depends on the mindset and willingness to continue to reach for it. Rare air is when the goal becomes the norm. It allows you to see your progress toward it every day.

From white belts to the world champions who share the mat at Atos HQ they all benefit from and contribute to the rare air that keeps us all improving, on and off the mat.
