Why Jiu-Jitsu over a big box gym?

There is something intangible built between people when they suffer and struggle together. 😓

It’s a unique bond.

Generally speaking Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts gyms are the antithesis of what big box gyms have become.

Jiu-Jitsu/Martial Arts Gyms:

Teamwork. 👊

No phones (on the mat) 0️⃣

Common goal. 🥇

Conversation. 🗣️

Respect & Camaraderie. ✊

Big Box Gyms (Planet Fitness, LA, Lifetime etc):

Phones everywhere. 📱

People plugged in. 🎧

Other people are an annoyance. 🙄

Little to no conversation. 0️⃣

This is why more and more people are gravitating towards Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts from what I’ve seen…..it’s a sanctuary of sorts. ⛪️

See you on the mats,
