What makes a successful martial arts academy? # Part 4 # Training should be fun! ... # Martial Arts training at times can be serious business but first and foremost it most be a fun activity. # If you enjoy training - it will pull you back again. # Of course "enjoyment" in training is not only restricted to the physical activity of the art itself... # Your instructor and the training partners you surround yourself with are a massive part of this too. # They will help to aid your enjoyment and are a massive part of your own personal development. # An important question is - Does the culture of the gym suit your needs whether you are a competitior, a "recreational-competitor" or simply a recreational attendee. # Having fun and enjoying martial arts training is a massive part of the outlook of our academy @teamtorresderry. # Infact id go as far as to say that its at the very heart of our teams ethos. • • • • #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #artesuave #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsu #bjj #oss #bjjlife #grappling #jiujitsulife #jiujitsuparatodos #jiujitsu4life #bjj4life #bjjgirls #blackbelt #ibjjf #gi #bjjstyle #nogi #gracie #submission #tatame #judo #teamtorres #adcc #jiu #mma #graciejiujitsu #ufc #bjjforlife

A great session yesterday learning from @actjj - Alessandro Charuto. # Alessandro has had a huge impact on Team Torres with his philosophy and take on how Jiu Jitsu should look and feel. # Its always an honour to learn from him and try to improve my own understanding of what is considered high level Jiu Jitsu.... # I look forward to more training sessions whilst he is here in Ireland 💪 • • • • #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #artesuave #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsu #bjj #oss #bjjlife #grappling #jiujitsulife #jiujitsuparatodos #jiujitsu4life #bjj4life #bjjgirls #blackbelt #ibjjf #gi #bjjstyle #nogi #gracie #submission #tatame #judo #teamtorres #adcc #jiu #mma #graciejiujitsu #ufc #bjjforlife

What makes a successful martial arts academy? # Part 2 # A strong community ... # Having a strong sense of community is a huge part of any martial arts gym. # Being surrounded and supported by like minded people on a daily basis who are striving towards similar goals, can never be under estimated. # Attendees celebrate together when things are going well and goals are being smashed. # They also help to lift up those who have had disappointment trying to attain their goals. # Without our training partners and sense of community, an academy is simply 4 walls and a mat. # @teamtorresderry the community we have is the heart and soul of the academy. • • • • #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #artesuave #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsu #bjj #oss #bjjlife #grappling #jiujitsulife #jiujitsuparatodos #jiujitsu4life #bjj4life #bjjgirls #blackbelt #ibjjf #gi #bjjstyle #nogi #gracie #submission #tatame #judo #teamtorres #adcc #jiu #mma #graciejiujitsu #ufc #bjjforlife

What defines a successful martial arts academy? # Part 1 # For us a huge part of a successful academy is the ability to build confidence in our attendees.... # But this takes time! # In some people it can take years to build confidence in others they already have it # But confidence building is a careful balancing act # Because if you are not careful this new found confidence can be taken away in minutes. # Our aim is always to help our attendees improve their confidence levels over a period of time. # That may be through a variety if measures - for example: self defence, competition wins, weight loss, improved flexibility, improved coordination, etc # In the picture attached we have a group of girls who attended our grading at Christmas time. # Imho these ladies are a perfect example of attendees who have grown in confidence since they have started with us @teamtorresderry. # We will continue to work on this and as coaches keep striving for that next level • • • • #brazilianjiujitsu #jiujitsulifestyle #artesuave #bjjlifestyle #jiujitsu #bjj #oss #bjjlife #grappling #jiujitsulife #jiujitsuparatodos #jiujitsu4life #bjj4life #bjjgirls #blackbelt #ibjjf #gi #bjjstyle #nogi #gracie #submission #tatame #judo #teamtorres #adcc #jiu #mma #graciejiujitsu #ufc #bjjforlife
