Everything I Wish I Learned When I First Started Jiu-Jitsu
I wandered through gym after gym trying to learn how to DEFEND MYSELF. Each gym, a new promise. Each promise, a new disappointment. I craved to learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu that was made famous by Royce Gracie in the UFC. You know, the little guy who submitted everyone in the octagon.
But all I found was Jiu-Jitsu taught as a random collection of submissions, takedowns and scrambling which only favoured the ‘athlete’.
It was an absolute disappointment. Every class started with an elaborate 10+ step move with no context and it never worked against someone bigger or stronger. I was just told to BECOME bigger or stronger.
It was horrible. And the physical toll? Brutal. Two medial tendons snapped by a blue belt. Cracked ribs. Torn ligaments. Broken bones. I couldn’t stand up straight for a few years because my spine was cracked pursuing a guard with an awesome name...
Every training session was like a fight to the death.
I started Jiu-Jitsu to learn how to defend myself against being bullied and beaten and ironically every class was me just getting bullied and beaten — until I could teach myself to survive.
I didn’t start Jiu-Jitsu so I could be in some fight club where only the toughest and most athletic make it out alive. I started it so I could PROTECT MYSELF AND THE ONES I LOVE.
After more than a decade of searching, I finally found Master Rickson Gracie. There, I discovered the ‘building blocks’ of Jiu-Jitsu. That’s when everything changed.
It was the real deal straight out of the gate. It was simple and efficient Jiu-Jitsu.
I packed all of my stuff, lived out of my car, slept on couches, academy mats and empty beaches. I invested all my money and resources to learn from him.
To this day, I still fly out to do private lessons with him as well as online check-ins. Now, my mission is to preserve and share the ‘Art’ he entrusted to me.
🧠 Who’s This Course For?
With all the big competitions nowadays like ADCC and CJI, Jiu-Jitsu has evolved. The sport thrives. It’s about the athlete with a new set of moves. Most gyms are now full of young guys doing rounds of sparring and getting jacked for competitions.
It’s cool — and you do you if that’s you. But I don’t care about that.
I care about the student who comes in and wants to learn Jiu-Jitsu for what it truly is: The Gentle Art.
I teach them the Building Blocks and the essential movements — with no BS. I say if someone weaker and less athletic can’t do it, then it’s probably not Jiu-Jitsu. It’s sports grappling.
My Jiu-Jitsu is about having a go-to toolbox. I’ve got my trusty hammer, a can of WD-40, and a roll of duct tape. That’s all I need. I don’t need the solar-powered leaf blower with LED lights that connects to Bluetooth.
Once you begin to master the Building Blocks of Jiu-Jitsu, you begin to realize that you don’t need anything more. You don’t need flashy submissions or 5,000 fancy moves. Jiu-Jitsu becomes simple.
The Building Blocks make Jiu-Jitsu. It doesn’t matter who you are or what lane you wish to go down: Self-Defence, Wellbeing, or Sport.
