Gracie United Covington/Madisonville

Congratulations

I want to welcome all of our new members to the academy.

This has been an incredibly busy back-to-school season, and we’re excited to have you training with us.

Starting Jiu-Jitsu is fun, but it can also be frustrating at times. You’re going to feel lost, get submitted, forget techniques, and have days when you wonder if you’re improving. That’s normal. Everyone goes through it.

One piece of advice: learn to tap. Tapping is part of training. It allows you to train again tomorrow. Don’t let your ego turn a small mistake into an injury that keeps you off the mats.

Don’t compare yourself to the people around you. Some have more athletic ability, some have more experience, and some simply learn differently. The only comparison that matters is whether you’re improving from where you started.

Stay consistent. If you keep showing up, you’ll be surprised by how much progress you make over time.

If you need anything during your first weeks or months, don’t hesitate to ask me, one of our coaches, or any of our higher belts. We all started as beginners, and we’re happy to help.

I’ll do my best to learn everyone’s names as quickly as I can, so bear with me if I have to ask more than once.

Thank you for trusting us with your Jiu-Jitsu journey. We look forward to seeing you on the mats.
