Jiu Jitsu Does It Better: Get Started Today.

When you learn jiu jitsu you lose weight, feel good, and have fun all at the same time. Whatever you want to do, with jiu jitsu you can do it better.

The Sabbatical – Begins 2019.

If you’re playing the long game, burnout is not an option, and rest is a necessity. From this year onwards, we introduce the Sabbatical.

Help! I Can’t Sleep Post Jiu Jitsu

Do you find it difficult to sleep post jiu jitsu? Is it hard for you to switch from choke time to sleep time? If you’re like us and want to build quality of life with your training, you need to sort out your sleep.

The Black Belt Off the Mats

Milan is busy learning on the mats.  Milan also realises that he could do with similar guidance off them too. Higher ProCoach is a collaboration with Precision Nutrition that equips you with the skills to live safe, healthy, and happy, this time off the mats. 

Tune In To Tune Up Your Jiu Jitsu

You can look around all you like and you may find something. But when you start to search within, this is where the answers lie. Doing a mind/body scan is the way to build self awareness. Try it and see for yourself. 

You’re Sidelined. Now What?

You feel the pain more than ever when you're prevented from being on the mats. You hate having to sit out and watch when you could be learning, and growing, and having bundles of fun. But you're injured. Now what do you do?

Jiu Jitsu Saves the Day

You're hanging in there. Between work, and life, being healthy and tending to yourself feels like a chore. No matter how hard you try it's just one big struggle. Fear no more, for jiu jitsu is here. 

Do You Need an Accountability Partner?

I’d just finished school and the big, bad world of adult life…

How to Listen your Way to Comfort

You want to improve. So you;re told to train hard, and fight for the things you want. 

Sure, you need to show up. You ought to come in with a good attitude. 

But how much effort is too much? When does your enthusiasm get in the way, and how can you use it in the right way?

Read on for more. 

From Failure to Flourish. You in?

Change is complex. Building skills is hard work. You've been trying for ages. You follow your favourite athlete's advice, and it leads you nowhere. There's ups and downs and the struggles are real for everyday people. No-one seems to understand. Until now. We're here to help. 

One for One, One for All

Parts of a whole always rely on the other parts to function. They have to.  

Just like this one sentence means little without the context of what’s written above and below it, and in accordance with the whole article. 

This is the trouble with isolation.

No one part of the body moves without support and adjustment from the rest of the structure.

The Expert vs The Supercoach

An expert tells you what to do while a coach guides you through the process. At Higher Jiu Jitsu you won't be told what to do as much as asked how it feels? The most effective knowledge lies within yourself. It is our aim to faciliate the jiu jitsu, and help you uncover that for yourself. 

And the Winner is: Quality

When you seek to move with quality, you may do less, but you’ll do it better. 

That’s as good a goal as any. 

Starting today : Be Kind

You my precious friend, can be a real bully. 

Sure, I love you for reading this, and I appreciate you with my life.

You’re probably just about the coolest person on Earth. 

I know you mean well, doing your best you can with what you have at your disposal. 

And still, you choose to think, and talk about yourself as you would a stubborn mule. 

Injuries Stink . Prehab Says No.

Injuries suck. I hate them. And so do you.  

Misdirected enthusiasm, coupled with ignorance is a dangerous combination. The trap of thinking you are invincible is an easy one to fall into. 

We can do better. We can be smarter.
