Some sessions you’ll feel sharp.
Some sessions you’ll feel like you’ve forgotten everything you know.
Both count.
Every round gives you something — better timing, better reactions, a new problem to solve, or simply another hour of experience on the mats.
You don’t need to be naturally athletic.
You don’t need to get fit before you start.
And you definitely don’t need to know what you’re doing on day one.
You just need to start — and then keep turning up.
That’s how people get good at Jiu Jitsu. 🥋

It’s easy to watch Jiu Jitsu and think that.
To see people moving, sparring, learning new skills and getting fitter — and imagine yourself doing it too.
But at some point, you have to get off the sofa, walk through the door and commit to actually learning it.
At Icon, we’ve helped hundreds of complete beginners do exactly that. People who arrived with no experience, no idea what they were doing and, in many cases, wondering whether Jiu Jitsu was really for them.
You don’t need to be good before you start. Helping you become good is our job.
You just need to turn up, have a good attitude, learn, and keep coming back.
A few months from now you can still be thinking:
“I’d love to learn that.”
Or you can be doing it and already have some great skills

TEAM CULTURE
This is what makes a team.
You’re brand new?? There’s people around you to help you on the way and take the time to make you feel welcome
You want serious training?? There’s people around you to push you and help you improve.
Long day & tired from work?? Come down to training, knowing that nobody is going to try to hurt you and risk an injury. You can still be part of the class without everyday feeling like a fight.
Bored of normal training & the gym?? Make new mates and enjoy great craic while you’re pushing yourself.
It’s the culture of a team and the people you share it with that sets you up for success. 🙌
See you on the mats

“I’ll finally get some time back to myself”
Be honest, we’ve all had that guilty thought over the summer hols!!
If you’ve got kids, then you’ll know this feeling. It’s great getting the family time with them.
But all of your own stuff goes on hold.
Loads of eating out. No routine. Spending a months worth of cash in a few days!
If you’ve been looking forward to them going back to school so you can get some routine back then you’re not alone.
But…. Nows the time to act. If you wait then it’ll already be October and the Halloween break!
Give us a shout and come get involved in our FOUNDATIONS BJJ classes. Unlimited training with our packed timetable.
See you on the mats 🙌
