EVERYONE STARTS SOMEWHERE. 🥋
A couple of years ago, walked through the doors and started on one of our BJJ beginners courses.
Like most people starting out, the first few sessions hurt 😂 Everything felt awkward, everything was difficult and he probably wondered what he’d signed himself up for 😂
But he kept turning up 💪
Fast forward a couple of years…
🥇 Gold medal at a local competition.
💪 Fitter and stronger than he’d been before.
🍺 Drinking less.
🥋 Got his kids involved in BJJ.
🏆 Started competing for the first time in his life.
💰 And now he’s gone from a beginners course to competing for £10,000.
His own words say it better than I could:
“Honestly though it’s changed my life BJJ - It’s the reason I started getting fitter and stronger so my body has changed because of it, it’s the reason I cut out drinking as much - it’s got my kids into it, given me chance to compete which is something I’ve never done. Just mega mate, it hurts, but it’s mega ha.”
And that’s the point.
You don’t need to be fit before you start.
You don’t need any martial arts experience.
You don’t need ambitions of becoming a competitor.
You just need to start.
You’ve absolutely no idea where that first session might take you.
Kirk started as a beginner. So does everyone else.
Maybe in a couple of years we’ll be telling your story. 👊🥋
