Before I started BJJ at Stealth with Jamie I was overweight, miserable and didn't have much confidence. However, the first day I started training I could already feel my mood changing, and the more I turned up, the happier I felt.
Over time, as I got better, I could feel my confidence coming back and my weight dropping. After about 6 months of consistently showing up, I had lost around 4 stone and my confidence was through the roof.
The hardest part about BJJ is having the confidence to go to your first session, once you turn up you'll never look back.
I've been training BJJ at Stealth for just over 3 years and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Until that point, I'd spend most nights in the pub drinking at any chance I could get. Now there's nowhere I'd rather be than on the mats testing myself daily and striving to become a better version of myself.
The training has helped me so much both physically and mentally, my only regret is that I didn't start sooner!
I've been training BJJ for 2 years now and it is by far the best decision I've ever made. Jamie is a very knowledgable instructor who genuinely cares about your personal development.
I've suffered from anxiety over the years and it has helped me so much. Whether I'm drilling or rolling it always helps clear my mind, makes me feel relaxed and I leave the gym on a high every time. Jiu-Jitsu truly is for everyone. Whether you are wanting to get in shape, meet new people, learn how to protect yourself, or just have fun.
At Stealth, you are never short of a helping hand. Always a warm and welcoming atmosphere with teammates that feel like family, what's not to love?
