I can still remember the first time I walked up the stairs to watch my first class 10 years ago. It was the last class of the year and I had to wait a few weeks before I could try my first class. I still get the same nervous excitement walking up to the academy that I did on my first class. That first class got me addicted, I knew right away that this is what I want to do.
I initially came to Jiu-Jitsu as a sport, something I could compete at, but over time I become more and more interested in the self defence aspect of jiu-jitsu. There is something so empowering knowing that you can handle most physical encounters you might come across.
This is one of the main reasons I love to teach Jiu-Jitsu, to share this empowerment. You can see people change, class by class, into confident, stronger people.
Jiu-Jitsu is many things, a sport, a martial art, a philosophy and a way of life, but most importantly Jiu-Jitsu is fun.
