So, it may come as a surprise to learn that Kit was actually shy as a kid.
As a matter of fact, that’s a part of the reason why he took up Jiu-Jitsu!
He shared more about it in an interview with BJJEE:
I was originally introduced to BJJ because I wanted to become more confident with myself physically.
I was always a very shy and insecure kid, especially when it came to physical confrontations.So, I wanted to learn how to protect myself, but I fell in love with Jiu-Jitsu because of the problem solving part of it.
I always describe to people that BJJ is like trying to solve a mathematical equation that is self aware and trying to solve you at the same time.
In other words, Kit Dale stayed with Jiu-Jitsu because of the problem-solving aspect of it:
It was mostly the fact that I could compete in a fun, challenging and rewarding sport that came with little consequences.
It’s one of the rare arts or sports that you can compete at a 100% effort and still walk away unscatched most of the time.The problem solving part, however, is what kept me in the sport.
