what to expect
The truth about jiu jitsu is that it’s not easy! It’s hard work and it tends to get frustrating, and it takes some getting used to - but its highly rewarding!
Training jiu jitsu gives us the opportunity to help understand, strengthen, and develop our physical, mental, and emotional abilities in which consistency and perseverance are key to making this a successful experience.
“Just about anything worth doing is worth doing better.”
- Seth Godin
A few things to keep in mind…
When the Training Gets Challenging
Balance yourself out and make sure not to overdo it. Take your time with your learning and your physical development.
When Things Don’t Make Sense
Make sure to ask questions when something doesn’t make sense. We’re always looking for new and more effective ways to practice jiu jitsu so there is truly NEVER a wrong question!
Enjoy the Training
Try to find something you enjoy about training and make that the focal point to help you keep the learning and training playful!
