Back on the Mat PT

Too many jiu jitsu athletes wear pain as a badge of honor.

Real toughness? It’s knowing when to listen to your body.

It’s learning to pause - so you can come back stronger.

Train smart. Heal well. Own the recovery process. Come back stronger.

DM me if you’re stuck in this cycle and want a smarter path forward.

As a kid, all the way through high school, I was painfully shy (I know some of you who know me may not believe this). I lacked confidence and self-worth. I remember looking out my window before leaving the house just to make sure my next door neighbor wasn’t already outside playing in his yard because I didn’t want to have to interact with him.

I eventually outgrew the awkward shyness but I still struggled with confidence into adulthood.

Until I found jiu jitsu.

What jiu jitsu has given me has been life-changing: it’s given me the confidence that I never had. Doing hard things and being comfortable with the discomfort has been truly transformative.

Anyone who has spent any time on the mats understands this. For many of you, jiu jitsu has had a similarly profound effect on you. And when you can’t participate in the thing that empowers you so much, it feels like a massive void.

My calling is to help you get that back. If you’re struggling because injuries are keeping you off the mats, DM me and let’s come up with a game plan to get you back on the mat.

That pain in your shoulder after a bad break fall. Tingling down your arm after that neck crank. That pop you heard in your knee. That’s your body’s check engine light.

⏰ It’s jiu jitsu. Injuries happen. But addressing your injuries early is something you can nip in the bud—before it turns into something chronic.

💡 Don’t ignore that light. Take care of the injury now, before it becomes that “nagging” pain every time you step on the mat.

If you think your “check engine light” is on, DM me and let’s get to the bottom of it.
