⚠️ Most people attack the turtle position the wrong way…

In this lesson, Rick Young shares some of the key concepts that make turtle attacks far more effective.

The difference between success and failure often comes down to small details.

🥋 Watch until the end and see if you’re making any of these mistakes.

💬 Do you prefer attacking the turtle or defending it?

Some people come to learn martial arts.

Some come to get fitter.
Some come to build confidence.
Some come to challenge themselves.

But many stay because they find something more.

Friendships.
Support.
Belonging.
A place where everyone is welcome, regardless of age, experience, or background.

At Rick Young Academy, we’re more than an Academy WE ARE A COMMUNITY ❤️.

We’re feminine off the mats… but on the mats, we’re a different kind of dangerous.🥋🔥. Behind every smile is a woman learning to defend herself, build confidence, and push beyond her limits.

This is more than Jiu Jitsu.
This is a community.

Would you give it a try?

Four years ago, we started a women’s BJJ class…. And a special thank you to our incredible coaches who have been part of this journey
for helping build something truly special at Rick Young Academy.” What started in May 2022 became so much more than a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class.

It became confidence.
Friendship.
Self defence.
Growth.
Community.

We are incredibly proud of every woman who has stepped onto the mats with us over the last 4 years.

Thank you for being part of this journey. 🤍

Five kids were already going to Dublin…�but now they’re going without the stress,�without the pressure,�and with the freedom to truly focus on what matters.
Lucas. Andre. Antonio. Luan. Joaozinho.
This is what community looks like.
And this is what happens when people choose to show up for something bigger than themselves.
