Some people are motivated by what they’ll gain from starting Jiu Jitsu.

Others by what happens if they don’t.

Which one motivates you?

The hardest job from a coaching role
is to understand what buttons to push.

Neither is right or wrong just how you’re wired.
Sometimes a combination of both is needed.

So which one are you?

Are you moving towards something or away from something?

Either way it works.

The mats don’t care what got you through the door.
Just that you did.

It’s easy to get into that pattern of not training.

“I’ll get back next week.”

So easy for one week to drift into another.

A prime example from last week.

“I can’t seem to find the time lately.”

That one little word..FIND.

In an already busy schedule, you’ll never find the time.
There’ll always be something else.

Another of my favourites is.

“If I get chance.”

You’ll never get a chance if it’s not already planned in.

Between everything else.

Work
Kids activities
Big food shop
Partners hobbies

I bet all these things are already factored in.

Why not your own training?

Hope is not a strategy.

How do you MAKE time for training each week?

Let me know in the comments. by @spinners_bjj

There’s one common thread throughout the majority of the reviews.

Everyone wished they’d have started sooner.

You know the drill, no better time than now.

Never going to be the perfect time.

The stars will never align.

Give it a go.

If it’s not for you, that’s cool.

At least you’ll know. by @spinners_bjj

Have I told you this before?

I was 32 when I started Jiu Jitsu.

I was working 12 hr shifts down sarff.

Coming off night shifts at 6am.
Trying to sleep and get to a 12pm class.

Sometimes I made it sometimes not.

Finishing an early shift at 6pm.
Getting over to Basingstoke for a 7pm class.

Sometimes I made it sometimes I didn’t.

Realistically I could make 2-3 classes one week.
The week after I might not make any.

I kept my expectations realistic.

Kept chipping away.

After 2 and a half years I got my Blue Belt.

Nothing mad, nothing crazy.

Just got in when I could.

Different now obviously..

But I see a similar pattern with others.

Work, kids and family.
Take up most of your time.

And rightly so…

Wheres that hour that’s just for you?

As men.

We need that outlet.

That hour to get out of our own heads.
To forget about life for a while.

Some think it’s selfish.
Ironically, it’s probably the least selfish thing to do.

If I didn’t train for a week.

I was a horrible c you next Tuesday.

That time that I carved out for myself.
Made me better in the other aspects of my life.

Get in when you can.
Manage expectations.
Keep on keeping on.

If you think ‘thats me’ he’s talking about then comment SPINNERS.

And I’ll be in touch to get you started. by @spinners_bjj

You've had two voices going for a while now.

One says...

"I used to be fit, I'd love to have a go, reckon I'd be ok at it."

"I just need something for myself, an hour or 2 a week. thats it."

The other says....

"Everyone in there's going to be some athletic 25 year old and I'm going to look like an idiot."

Be honest. The second one usually wins.

It's the reason the tab stays open on your phone instead of turning into a message.

You've thought about going back to rugby.
(but your shoulders are shot)

maybe 5 a side footy....
(your knees wont thank you.)

Boxing..
(had enough of being punched in the face.)

Here's what that second voice doesn't know, because it's never actually walked through the door.

Most of the room started exactly like you're about to.

30-40 yrs old.
Bit of history with sport. (used to be a contender 😜)
Few injuries and niggles here and there.
Still try to do a bit but the gym is boring AF.

We've got multiple classes a week built specifically for people who haven't done this before.

The athletic 25 year old you're picturing isn't judging you.

They were you, eighteen months ago, having this exact same argument with themselves.

The second voice is always loudest.
Because it likes things the way it is.

It's also wrong.
Don't listen to it.

The magic moment from last weekend.

Dad and lad competing on the same day.
Both winning and taking home the gold.

What a special moment for any father and son.

Don't get it twisted though.

There is a darker side to this.

If your son trains
And you do not.

When they're young.

It's cool.

At some point though.
In the not too distant future.

They will start to size you up a little differently.

And whether you like it or not.
You will no longer be.

The king of the castle.
The cock of your house.

You cant let this happen.
The little toe rag will take every advantage.

Don't worry though.
Theres still time to catch up.

If your son trains and you do not.

You have to start today.

Macclesfield - All stars.

Great work from the team on the weekend.

Several competing for the first time.
And a few stepping up again.

Proud of everyone regardless of the results.

Few close matches (down to advantages)
1 very quick one.
Few sub wins.
Few sub losses.

Lots of takeaways as always.

Well done lads.

The community, the environment, the culture.

This doesn’t change.

People training, improving, and enjoying the experience.

Some more than others… 😂
