“I don’t need Jiu-Jitsu. I have a gun.”

Me: 😂 Cool… what’s your plan when you can’t get to it?

A gun doesn’t teach you awareness.
It doesn’t teach you what to do when someone is already in your space.
And it doesn’t teach you how to control a situation without reaching for a weapon.

Self-defense starts with you—your awareness, your reactions, your ability to stay calm, create space, escape, and protect yourself.

You may never need Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense… and I hope you don’t.

But if that day ever comes, you’ll be glad you trained. 🥋

Learn skills you carry everywhere.
Come try a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class at Team Lawton.

Afraid of failing at Jiu-Jitsu? Good. That fear means you’re about to try something that can make you stronger.

The people who dare to begin walk through the door, step onto the mats, get uncomfortable, get tapped, make mistakes, and keep going. Most people never take that first step because they’re afraid of being bad at something new.

Failing is part of life, and you can’t avoid every difficult or uncomfortable situation. The better choice is to learn how to face challenges, build confidence, and defend yourself when they come.

In BJJ, failure isn’t something to avoid—it’s part of the training and the process of building real skills.

You can’t learn to escape if you’re never willing to get caught.

Almost 30 years of Jiu-Jitsu 😬 and when I look back, some of the greatest things BJJ has given me have nothing to do with belts or medals.

It’s the friendships. ❤️ Friendships that have lasted more than 20 years, across different countries, different chapters of life, and thousands of miles. The kind of connection that’s hard to explain unless you’ve shared the mats with someone.

BJJ has given me friends and family all over the world. 🌎 No matter how much time passes, when we meet again, it feels like we pick up right where we left off.

And now, after almost 30 years, one of the most special parts is getting to share this life with my kids. Watching them step onto the mats, meet the people who were part of my journey, and create friendships and memories of their own makes everything come full circle.

Almost 30 years later, I’m still realizing that Jiu-Jitsu was never just about Jiu-Jitsu. It’s about the people we meet along the way. 🥋❤️

Start September strong. 🔥 Set the tone for the month by showing up, doing the hard things, and choosing progress over excuses. Whether you’re already training or you’ve been thinking about starting BJJ, make September the month you commit—get on the mats, put in the work, and see what you’re capable of.

POV: You just got your blue belt… 💙

And the old school brown belts waste ZERO time recruiting you to the dark side. 😈😂

“One word: curiosity .” 🤝💀

Apparently blue belt doesn’t just unlock new techniques… it unlocks questionable friendships and wristlocks. 😂🥋

“My kid says they don’t want to do Jiu-Jitsu anymore.”

BJJ is hard—and sometimes, that’s exactly why they want to quit.

Of course kids would rather stay home, play video games, and choose what gives them instant gratification. That’s easier. Jiu-Jitsu requires effort, patience, discipline, and being uncomfortable sometimes.

They’ll lose. They’ll struggle. They’ll have days they don’t want to go. But that’s where growth happens.
Sometimes parenting means saying:
“I know it’s hard. I know you don’t feel like going today. But we made a commitment, and we’re going to keep showing up.”

Because one day, the lesson they remember may not be the armbar or the takedown.

It may be that they learned not to quit on themselves when things got hard. 🥋❤️

You know what’s crazy? 1 hour at the gym is only about 4% of your entire day. 💪

Just 4%.

But that one hour can change the other 96%.

🔥 More energy
🔥 Better mood
🔥 More confidence
🔥 Less stress
🔥 Better sleep
🔥 A stronger body AND mind

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to be in shape before you start. You just need to show up.

Give us 4% of your day and see what it can do for the other 96%.

🥋 Never trained before? Perfect. We love helping beginners take that first step.

You just have to walk through the door.
