Most People Need Permission to Start
Sometimes people don’t need motivation.
They need permission.
Permission to be new.
Permission to be unfit.
Permission to get things wrong.
Permission to walk into a room and not know what they are doing.
So here it is:
You are allowed to start exactly where you are.
If you’re in Norwich and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is something you’ve wanted to try, our 30-Day Beginner Experience is designed for exactly that.

You’re Supposed to Struggle
If you start BJJ and everything feels difficult…
good.
That means you’re learning something new.
You are not supposed to understand everything straight away.
You are not supposed to move like someone who has trained for years.
You are not supposed to be good on day one.
You are supposed to be a beginner.
If you’re in Norwich and fear of not being good enough has been holding you back, let that go.
Come and learn.

I Didn’t Believe It Either
When I started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, becoming a black belt felt almost impossible.
I received my black belt in 2009.
And even then, I don’t think I really believed it until it happened.
That is one of the things BJJ teaches you.
You are often capable of more than you currently believe.
You don’t have to know where the journey will end.
You just have to begin it.
If you’re in Norwich and thinking about starting BJJ, come and take that first step.

Do Something That Is Yours
Work.
Family.
Bills.
Responsibilities.
Adult life gets very good at filling every bit of your time.
Sometimes you need something that is simply yours.
An hour where you switch off.
Learn.
Move.
Improve.
Challenge yourself.
That is what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu becomes for a lot of people.
If you’re in Norwich and feel like you need something for you, come and try it.

You Don’t Need to Feel Ready
Most people wait for confidence before they start something new.
But confidence usually comes after you begin.
After the first class.
After the first technique you understand.
After the first time you realise:
“I can actually do this.”
If you’re thinking about trying BJJ in Norwich, don’t wait until you feel ready.
Start, and let the confidence catch up.

CONFIDENCE LOOKS DIFFERENT ON EVERY Child.

Confidence isn't always the child with their hand up first.

It isn't always the loudest voice in the room.

Sometimes confidence is a child who normally stands at the back, taking one little step forward.

Trying something without Mum or Dad beside them.

Speaking to another child first.

Having another go after getting something wrong.

Those things can look tiny to us.

But to that child, they might be massive.

I think sometimes we need to stop comparing children and notice their progress instead.

That's what we try to do here.

“I'M NOT REALLY A SPORTY PERSON.”

Neither are plenty of people who end up enjoying Jiu-Jitsu.

You don't need a history of football, rugby, running or going to the gym.

You might have hated sport at school.

You might have spent the last twenty years avoiding anything involving exercise.

That's fine.

Jiu-Jitsu is something you learn.

At first you'll think about every movement.

Then slowly your body starts understanding what your brain has been trying to tell it.

For me, that's part of what makes it interesting.

You're not just exercising.

You're learning a skill.

So if you've spent years saying:

“Sport just isn't really me.”

Maybe you haven't found your thing yet.

Come and see whether this is.

Everybody you see moving confidently around the mat once stood there knowing absolutely nothing. Don’t compare your first month with somebody else’s fifth year.
If you’re starting BJJ in Norwich, being a beginner is exactly where you’re supposed to be.

One Year From Now
A year from now, you could still be saying:
“I’ve always wanted to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.”
Or you could have a year of training behind you.
A year of learning.
A year of getting fitter.
A year of doing something you once thought wasn’t for you.
Either way, the year is going to pass.
If you’re in Norwich and BJJ has been sitting in the back of your mind, maybe now is the time.

Imagine Yourself a Year From Now
Imagine it is October next year.
You can arrive there in two different ways.
You can still be saying:
“I’ve always fancied trying BJJ.”
Or you could have a year of training behind you.
A year of techniques learned.
A year of improved fitness.
A year of new friendships.
A year of doing something you once wondered whether you were capable of.
Either way, that year is going to pass.
If you’re in Norwich and BJJ has been sitting in the back of your mind, maybe it’s time.
