Around 7 years ago Higher Jiu Jitsu began as the Jiu Jitsu Commune. We were there to train, and learn together, and enjoy the fruits of jiu jitsu. There was no plan, or syllabus, but definitely lots of enthusiasm, and a vision of how I wanted things to be. Numerous years on, and it sure is a different place than how it started. Now we have curriculums, and more classes, and so many new faces. But the ethos that the Commune was built on still stands to this day. In this poddy, Matty and I discuss our Higher Jiu Jitsu mission 'to help everyday people build quality of life with Gracie Jiu Jitsu'.We're happy with where we've come, and yet we have a long way to go. This is OK, because it's the long game we're playing. Class by clas, and day by day we're getting there. We sow the seeds of jiu jitsu within all of our students, and they go out and help others do the same thing. This was a nice chat. Apologies for the audio quality. We're doing our best. Much love. Coach John and Coach Matty.
