🥋🔥 4 YEARS DEEP AND STILL GOING STRONG! 🔥🥋

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY, MUSASHI BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU! 🎂

From a handful of people on the mats to 70 students and growing! What an incredible four years it’s been.

For a relatively small academy, we’ve achieved some pretty incredible things, and we’ve shown that we can compete with some of the biggest teams around.

🏆 2024 Scottish Cup – BEST ACADEMY OVERALL! Finishing top of 52 teams for combined points and medals.

🥇 Multiple Scottish champions.

🥋 Medallist at the British Championships.

🥋 Medallist at the European Championships.

🥋 Medallist in Barcelona.

🥋 Countless medals and fantastic performances at competitions across the country and beyond.

But Musashi has always been about more than medals. It’s about the people, the friendships, the progress, the loyalty and creating an environment where everyone can enjoy high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

We’ve built an incredible team, raised thousands for charity, made lifelong friendships and watched people achieve things they never thought possible.

I’m immensely proud of what we’ve built together, and I couldn’t have done it without every single person who’s supported Musashi along the way.

Four years down. A lifetime to go.

We’re only getting started! 👊🥋

MUSASHI FOREVER. ❤️

I’ve been getting a lot of interest recently from people working in the emergency services, military, police, ambulance service and healthcare who are looking to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I already have several police officers, military personnel, nurses, mental health nurses and people from ambulance and paramedic backgrounds training with me at Musashi BJJ, and they’ve experienced firsthand just how valuable these skills can be.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches you far more than how to fight.

It teaches you how to protect yourself, control another person without unnecessarily hurting them, remain calm under pressure and think clearly in potentially violent situations.

More importantly, it teaches you to control yourself before trying to control someone else.

These are invaluable skills for anyone working in challenging or unpredictable environments, but they’re equally beneficial to absolutely everyone.

If you’re interested in developing genuine confidence, self-defence skills, composure and resilience, get in touch. I’ll happily offer advice, support and help you get started.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu could be one of the best decisions you ever make. Trust me.

Hi, I’m Chris Reid, Black Belt and Head Coach at Musashi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I can teach you how to protect yourself.
I can teach you how to protect the people you love.

Let me teach you.

Going through life without knowing how to physically protect yourself or your family is something I believe we should take personal responsibility for. It’s easy to keep putting it off — I’ll get fitter first. I’ll start next month. I’m too busy just now.

But there will never be a perfect time.

Starting something new can be uncomfortable. You might feel awkward. You’ll probably get tired. You might be a little sore. At first, everything feels foreign.

Then you come back.

And you come back again.

Your breathing improves. Your body adapts. The movements start making sense. You become stronger, calmer and more capable. What once felt uncomfortable becomes normal.

That lesson goes far beyond Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Growth in almost every area of life requires being willing to be uncomfortable long enough to become comfortable.

So don’t keep putting it off.

Learn how to control another person. Learn how to stay calm under pressure. Build your fitness. Build your confidence. Develop skills that you can actually rely on.

Reach out today.

Come through the door and let me teach you.

When it really comes down to it… how long can you actually fight for?

Not in your head. Not when everything is going your way.

When you’re exhausted. When someone is physically trying to control you. When your heart rate is through the roof and you can barely catch your breath.

How long could you keep going if you genuinely had to protect yourself or your family?

A lot of people walk into a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym believing they’re strong, fit, tough, or that they’d “handle themselves” in a fight.

Then they grapple with somebody who’s trained.

Reality changes very quickly.

That strength disappears. The cardio disappears. Panic starts creeping in. Thirty seconds suddenly feels like five minutes. People who thought they could fight often describe it afterwards as feeling like they were drowning in mud.

And that’s okay.

Because that’s where the learning starts.

We’ll help you lose the ego. We’ll build your cardio and composure. We’ll teach you how to control another person using positioning, leverage and technique — and how submissions through joint locks and chokes actually work in a controlled training environment.

You don’t need to arrive tough.

You don’t need to arrive fit.

You just need to walk through the door.

We’ll teach you the rest.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the art of control.

It’s not about throwing wild punches or relying on strength. It’s about learning how to control another person — their movement, their balance and their ability to fight back.

You learn how to take someone to the ground, establish dominant positions, hold them there and stay in control while they’re actively trying to escape.

Mount. Side control. Back control. Pins. Pressure. Positional dominance.

And from those positions, you learn how to finish the encounter with submissions when necessary.

That’s what makes BJJ such an effective martial art: control first, submission second.

You don’t just learn how to fight.

You learn how to control a fight. 🥋
