Juan Pablo Garcia

As a coach, I see this all the time.

Students come in feeling “off”…
but they can’t explain why.

No injury.
No problem.
Just low energy and low engagement.

You won’t always feel motivated.
You won’t always feel sharp.

But that’s exactly when training matters the most.

You don’t need to feel great to improve.
You just need to show up and stay consistent.

That’s how you progress.

Huge congratulations to Professor Daniel Bohn on his upcoming 1st Degree Black Belt promotion!

We’re proud to celebrate this special moment with Professor Daniel during the BJJ Germany Camp on June 20. Thank you for representing the EDJ values and continuing to inspire everyone around you through hard work and passion.

Congratulations, Professor Daniel! Looking forward to seeing the EDJ Germany Family!

You won’t always feel like training.
That’s exactly why you should.

Everyone wants results.
Few people stay long enough to earn them.

You can’t control the outcome. You can control your effort.
Give your best every time you step on the mat.

One of the coolest things you can do in Jiu-Jitsu… is travel with your team.
Not just for competition, but to experience new places, new energy, and new adventures together.
What makes it special isn’t just the training or exploring… it’s the people you share it with.
The early flights. The team dinners. The nerves before stepping on the mat. The laughs after a long day of training. The wins, the losses, and everything in between.
These moments build more than skill… they build connection, memories, and a stronger team.
Whether it’s competing or attending a training camp, these experiences stay with you for life.
If you’ve never traveled with the team, this is your time!
We’ve got some amazing opportunities coming up:
• International Camps & Retreats (Germany, Caribbean, Costa Rica)
• Competition trips and team events throughout the year
Don’t just train… live the journey. 🥋✈️

Too much sparring too soon can actually slow down a beginner’s progress in Jiu-Jitsu.

A new student first needs to learn:
• Movement
• Positioning
• Base
• Posture
• Defense
• Control
• How to stay calm under pressure

If beginners only “fight” every class, they often build bad habits:
- Using strength over technique
- Holding their breath
- Panicking under pressure
- Moving without purpose
- Training with fear instead of confidence

Good Jiu-Jitsu development is a progression:
Learn → Drill → Positional Training → Controlled Sparring → Live Rounds

The goal is to introduce SPARRING at the right time and in the right way.

The best academies don’t just create tough students.
They create technical, confident, safe, and intelligent grapplers for the long term.
