“You Signed the Waiver: Why We Want You to Try Jiu-Jitsu”
Ever wonder why your jiu-jitsu friend keeps telling you to come train? It’s not about filling a class. It’s about sharing something that changed us—mind, body, and soul.
In this episode, Jenn and Mal read a powerful post by Tara Thornton (@tara_thornton_) that captures everything we wish we could say about starting BJJ. Whether you’re a white belt, a brown belt, or someone still thinking about walking through the door, this one is for you.
You’ll hear:
• Why jiu-jitsu is for everyone—not just the fearless or fit
• How failure, frustration, and community shape your growth
• What you actually gain when you keep showing up
This isn’t just a workout. It’s a way in. And it starts with one decision: showing up.
