Higher Jiu Jitsu

My guy Socrates said, "It's a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable of."

And I agree!

Most of us train alone: jogs, weights, the bike. It's you against you.

Jiu Jitsu is different. It's you and another person, one nervous system meeting another.

You learn when to go, when to yield, and when to hit hard.

It starts on the mat. And it follows you to work. and at home and everywhere.

You don't need to be fit. You don't need to be young. You just need to start.

Never trained before? Come see the mat for yourself. Get started at higherjiujitsu.com.au.

When was the last time you played with your kids?

Not drove them somewhere. Not watched from the sideline. Played.

You’re busy. School runs. Soccer. Grandparents. Running around doing all the stuff.

Somewhere in there, the play gets lost.

Sammy started Jiu Jitsu the same time as his son. Years later, they’re both still going. Still having fun. Still making friends.

They’ve trained together in different countries. Walked into academies where they didn’t know a soul and walked out with mates.

Something that’s theirs, wherever they are in the world.

Most of all, a way to play together.

You can have that too. It starts with one session.

Jiu jitsu has the ability to transform the most unassuming people.

From shy, sad and unsure to formidable, aware, and calculated.

We've seen it time and time again here at Higher.

Its why we do what we do.

Thanks David Lu Nadia Davis and all of our Buddies for taking the time and energy to implement this.

Its easy to tell others what they ought to do. But kids learn by watching infinitely more than by listening.

Leaders go first.

So, how can you set the standard for those around you?

Its an interesting question, and one I ask myself all the time when it comes to leading myself, my kids, and those around me.

If you train, you know the jiu jitsu journey is a life changing one.

Sadly many students jump in, but quickly get lost in the muck and quit before its barely begun. What could have been? We won't know.

That's why our crew have banded together to create our Higher Buddy Program.

Newbies, starting isnt easy. But we've tailored the beginning by design so you come in, and feel supported, and like part of the crew from Day1.

Ready to start? Our 28DayKickstart is the perfect way in. DM for details.

Thanks Christian Garcia for sharing your knowledge and being such a gentleman this week.

We got to learn some precise mechanics from the De La Riva guard, and feel the pressure passing that's gotten him and his team to the pinnacle of the sport.

Its been a pleasure to learn from you and with you and you're welcome at Higher anytime!
