One thing that puts a lot of people off training: 👉 Feeling like they need to “keep up” With younger people With fitter people With more experienced people You don’t. The best approach is: 👉 Train at your level 👉 Build gradually 👉 Focus on your own progress That’s how you actually stick with it.
Quick reminder for anyone new here— This isn’t a group just for fighters or competitors. It’s for people who want to: Get fit Learn something new Build confidence Train in a way that actually lasts You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be in shape. You just need to start.
If you’ve been thinking about starting (or getting back into training), the best time is when you feel ready—not when everything is perfect. Start small. Build consistency. And if you’re local, we’ve got beginner-friendly sessions at Coopers Martial Arts & Fitness that follow this exact approach. Our next BJJ Beginners course starting date will be announced in the next day or two.
