From Discomfort to Delight – This is the Way

March 8, 2017

Jiu jitsu is a martial art that prepares you for a fight. But you don't learn it by fighting. Training like this will only lead to injuries. You get better in an environment of learning. This is how your jiu jitsu will excel and this is how you will prosper in life.

A New Look, A New Year.

"There is no top rung. And no bottom rung. There’s only the next rung of the ladder. And the one after that (and of course, the one after that, ad infinitum)."

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.

Injuries Stink . Prehab Says No.

August 20, 2014

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.
