A parent’s perspective on training at Nakama
Andy came to Nakama looking to get back into BJJ himself and to get his son Samson involved in it too.
After training at the club for a while and bringing Samson along, Andy eventually took on a role as one of our kids coaches where he now does an amazing job helping guide the next generation coming through Nakama.
We caught up with Andy to chat about his experience at the club, training alongside his son and some of the benefits he’s seen BJJ have on Samson both on and off the mats.
For us, the kids program has always been about more than just learning Jiu Jitsu. Building confidence, perseverance and giving the kids a place where they feel supported and part of a team is just as important.
Thanks Andy for everything you do for the club and our kids 🙏
