One of the biggest barriers to starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) isn’t the physical challenge or the commitment—it’s fear. Fear of stepping onto the mat and discovering that you’re not as tough as you thought you were.
Let’s clear something up right away: at Renzo Gracie Ponce, you’re not expected to be “tough” when you walk through our doors. In fact, trying to prove your toughness is the wrong mindset for anyone beginning their Jiu-Jitsu journey. The best students come with an open mind and a willingness to learn.
Why People Hesitate to Start Jiu-Jitsu
It’s natural to feel a little nervous about starting something new, especially a martial art as practical and challenging as Jiu-Jitsu. Many people think:
“What if I’m not strong enough?”
“What if I can’t keep up?”
“What if I’m not as tough as I thought I was?”
These thoughts can hold you back, but the truth is: Jiu-Jitsu isn’t about proving how tough you are. It’s about learning, growing, and becoming better every day.
You’re Here to Learn, Not Compete
When you start training with us, you’ll quickly realize that Jiu-Jitsu is a journey of humility. Whether you’re a total beginner or someone with athletic experience, you will learn something valuable: there’s always room for improvement.
Even seasoned grapplers will tell you—they’re constantly learning and evolving. This is the beauty of Jiu-Jitsu: it rewards those with an open mind and a growth-oriented mindset.
Embrace the Learning Process
Here’s the thing: we guarantee you’re not as good as you think you are—yet. Unless you’ve been grappling for a significant amount of time, you’re going to have moments where you struggle. But this is where the magic happens.
By focusing on learning rather than proving yourself, you’ll:
