Having found BJJ later in life (46), I was a little unsure what to expect from the experience.
I’d always wanted to practice a martial art and BJJ was always the one I’d most fancied.
So last year I decided to take the plunge.
I was immediately impressed with the high quality of coaching provided by the club and the incredible welcome I received. It would be easy to imagine a testosterone fuelled environment where everyone fought to the death each session. This could not have been further from the reality of what this wonderful club provides.
The technical complexity of the foundational elements are taught in easy to understand stages, and skills are layered on methodically to ensure that all levels can progress at their own speed.
Having been around sport a long time, and especially high performance sport, I was very impressed at how Samantha was able to be patient and allow skills to develop with key coaching cues and guidance.
The result has been rapid progress and retention of information that has kept me engaged and immersed in the practice.
I’ve never found a physical practice that feels so meditative, I always wonder where the time went as sessions seem to go by in the blink of an eye.
I look forward to hopefully continue BJJ forever, and I couldn’t imagine anywhere better to do it.
Thanks Sam
