BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU IS FOR EVERYBODY!!!

By Ernest Juarez • 10 Jan, 2023 •
Starting anything new can always be challenging. Especially when it involves
physical fitness. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can not only be challenging but also
intimidating. Speaking from 8 years of experience in BJJ, I can attest to this.
March 2015, I started my Jiu Jitsu journey. I had zero grappling experience and
had only trained in striking arts. My first class I remember feeling lost,
having no idea what I was doing. I was being pushed physically and mentally like
I haven’t experienced since going through Marine Corps boot camp in 2005. I
loved it and I signed up that day. I had great teammates and coaches who helped
me acclimate to BJJ. The first few months were such a struggle, I didn’t feel
like I was getting any better. I was getting smashed on the mats. To add to the
struggles, I was driving 45 minutes one way to the nearest BJJ gym 3 times a
week just to get tapped out over and over. I was speaking to blue and purple
belts about struggling and not feeling like I was getting better. I’ll never
forget being told that what I was experiencing was normal and if I would just
keep coming and giving it my all, it would pay off. I was told to write down in
a journal the areas I was struggling with and to watch BJJ videos about those
positions . On the drive home I had plenty of time to think about the advice I
was given. Remembering my training from the Marine Corps about adapting and
overcoming, I was determined to get better and stick with it. I got home and
started finding videos on YouTube. One was a documentary with 8-time BJJ world
champion Robson Moura. Professor Moura spoke about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is for
everybody. Young, old, male, female it didn’t matter as long as you showed up
and left your ego at the door. I was brainstorming that night and thinking about
my teammates and coaches. Everyone on the mats had different backgrounds and
came from different walks of life. I knew if they could do it, I could do it. I
didn’t get better right away but I remembered what Professor Moura said “Jiu
Jitsu is for everybody”. A few months went by, and I was getting better. I
worked on the positions I struggled with and showed up to every open mat I could
attend and pressure tested everything I was learning. It paid off and felt like
it was for me. My journey through blue and purple belt were filled with trials
and tribulations. Each new rank presented new challenges. But, the reward of
sticking with it and pushing through felt so much better and made the struggles
worth it. I grew spiritually, learning to apply what I learned on the mats to
everyday life. Realizing if I can overcome the physical and mental difficulties
of BJJ, I can overcome anything. The confidence gained through perseverance on
the mats were all worth it. 8 years later I am now a 2 stripe brown belt with my
own BJJ gym. Being a coach I can see some of the similar struggles with my
students that I saw in myself and with many people I have watch come and go on
the mats. I’ve seen people with so much potential quit because of difficulties
on the mats and in life. I write this so that people thinking about training BJJ
or are just starting their journey can see that it’s going to be challenging.
It’s going to push you mentally and physically. There are going to be days where
you question why you are doing this, why are you paying monthly dues to get
smashed on the mats after work. I write this so when those times do come up and
they will, you can see it get so much better. Pushing through those difficulties
has so many rewards that will make it all worth it. You will not only have
learned self-defense, you will also learn to overcome the many difficulties life
may throw at you. And, in my opinion, the best reward is the relationships and
bonds you will form with your teammates over the years. The comradery is
something special. Most importantly you will see that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is for
everybody.
