You’ve been thinking about trying JiuJitsu for a while now.

In fact, most people start after thinking about it for at least a year!

Sometimes they’re nervous, other times their life gets in the way. There will always be an easy reason to come up with to not start.

I want to make starting easy for you.

Reach out today and I’ll set you up with a free trial to make sure we are a good fit for you.

What’s the answer

09/06/2026

Are you prepared to tie a grown man into his seat and duct tape him down to protect the people around you?

Because that’s exactly what passengers on this flight were faced with.

A man allegedly started using racial and anti-gay slurs toward a flight attendant, and then things escalated when he struck another passenger.

At that point, the flight crew started handing out zip ties and duct tape and asking for help restraining him. It got serious enough that the flight had to be diverted to Baltimore, where police were waiting for him.

But here’s the real question I want you to think about:

If nobody on that plane stepped in to help, what happens?

And now imagine you were sitting there and you were actually trained.

In my opinion, someone with even six months to a year of consistent jiu-jitsu training is going to be far more prepared to help control someone in a situation like this than someone who has never trained at all.

This is why I tell people all the time: jiu-jitsu isn’t just about winning medals or tapping somebody out at the gym.

You’re learning a skill that one day you may actually need.

Not just to protect yourself.

Maybe to protect everyone around you.

I remember years ago, as an adult, shadowing an organization that would go into schools and do body-safety talks with kids.

Before they would even start, they always made sure they had counselors standing by.

I remember asking, “Why do you need counselors here?”

They told me because every time they did one of these talks, they would usually have one to three kids come forward and report some form of abuse.

I thought that was crazy.

But what was even crazier was how normal it was to them. They had been doing this for years and years. This wasn’t some rare occurrence. They expected it.

So I asked them, “How often do we do these body-safety talks in schools?”

They told me once a year was what was mandated in Indiana at the time.

Think about that.

Every time you’re educating these kids, you’re potentially getting one, two, three children coming forward saying, “Something is happening to me.”

Yet we’re doing the talk once a year?

Now look at this story.

A young girl sits through a body-safety presentation, raises her hand, and what she says reportedly leads to the arrest of a 60-year-old man she knows on a child-molesting charge.

The education gave her an opportunity to speak.

So who’s dropping the ball here?

If educating children is helping them recognize abuse, find their voice, and expose predators, why aren’t we educating them more?

And I’m not just talking about schools.

Parents. Coaches. Teachers. Churches. Martial arts schools. Youth organizations. Everywhere.

We cannot educate our kids about body safety once a year, check a box, and convince ourselves we’ve done enough.

Educate them early. Educate them often. Give them the words. Give them the voice. And make damn sure they know we’re going to listen when they use it.

Adult JiuJitsu class was exhausting and rewarding tonight.

The weather has been great to train in, just cramping no muscle pulls 😂

100% humidity means you get tired faster, but that post training high hits deeper.

Grateful for everybody that showed up 🙏🏻
