I came to Ultra Jiu-Jitsu with 6 months of previous training at another gym. I was very hesitant at first, as my previous experiences had been a bit more competitive and that is just not what I was interested in. Professor Pedro and Alexis both assured me that if I just wanted to train and learn that was completely ok and they encouraged it. Competition is not for everyone, but they DO have people here who train to compete, and being able to learn from them and talk with them as well has really improved my views on a lot of this culture. I think I have been rapidly improving since starting here, I am learning more in 2 months than I did in my previous 6. Professor Pedro dedicates time at the end of every class to ensure that if there are questions/concerns, that they get answered and you leave knowing more than when you entered.

Jiu-Jitsu is really not an easy hobby by any means, but I think with dedication to yourself and your body this can be a hobby for anyone.
