🥋 REASONS YOU DEFINITELY SHOULDN’T TRY BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU…
We’ve heard a few. So let’s clear them up. 😉
❌ “It’s not for girls.”
Well… on Monday, half our class were girls.
So we might have to retire that one.
❌ “I don’t want my child getting punched or kicked in the head.”
Good news — neither do we.
BJJ is a grappling martial art. No punching. No kicking. Kids learn takedowns, control, escapes and submissions in a safe, coached environment.
❌ “It’s not actually effective.”
BJJ is one of the most widely used martial arts in MMA and the UFC — because knowing how to control someone on the ground is a pretty useful skill.
❌ “I’m too old.”
You might want to meet our adults.
Around half are over 50, and plenty started as complete beginners.
❌ “I’m not fit enough.”
That’s a reason to start, not a reason to wait.
You don’t need to be tough.
You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
You just need to walk through the door.
So… what’s your excuse? 😏
