How important is your Jiu-Jitsu community? On a bad day, it might be the one thing that gets you to come back. On a good day, your teammates are there to cheer you on and celebrate your victories. Community forms the backbone of our Jiu Jitsu journey, whether it's the encouragement from a favorite training partner or the magnetic pull of the friendships we've formed along the way. This episode is packed with actionable advice on building and sustaining community, whether it’s being intentional about welcoming newcomers, hosting out-of-gym activities, or encouraging people to reach out when they haven’t seen a training buddy in a while. So, if you're curious about how to create or enrich your Jiu-Jitsu community, or if you need a boost to get you back on the mat, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
