Bairro Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Muay Thai Kickboxing

Big week at Bairro 🥵

We love you guys 🖤

Jiu-jitsu is an outlet, activity, and tool for building confidence. Ready to get your kids started with an activity they'll love? Click the link in our bio to sign up for a free trial!

Things you need to know when you start jiu-jitsu:

1. The first 3-6 months will suck. You'll feel like you're so far behind everyone else and like you're not learning anything. You'll get smashed by people smaller than you. But slowly, things start to click.

2. At some point, a teenage blue belt will ruin your night. Just as you think you're getting the hang of things, someone comes around and destroys you. This is a canon event.

3. The sooner you make it a habit, the sooner you'll get ahead. Pick three nights a week that are jiu-jitsu nights, and stick with it. You'll get ahead of everyone who burns out in their first month.

4. You'll make a group of friends you wouldn't meet anywhere else. If you're in jiu-jitsu, you're probably in a group chat with a single dad, a lawyer in his fifties, an unemployed 18 year old, and a stay-at-home mom of three. The bonds you make on the mats are irreplaceable.

5. You don’t tap a million times because jiu-jitsu isn’t for you, you tap a million times because it’s a long journey. If you were good at it the first day or the first week, it wouldn't be worth learning. Join for the journey, not the short-term satisfaction.
