FaMA Fit Live is is a fitness-focused class with a martial arts twist. The class consists of a range of bodyweight movement concepts and martial arts techniques. No equipment needed.
An excerpt from our recent “When I was a beginner…” series where FaMA’s instructors share how they got started in martial arts. This week we’re featuring FaMA BJJ Instructor, Professor Thiago.
"I was ten years old when I first began, and I decided to take on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because I thought it was cool.
However, the first day I stepped into a BJJ academy, I was called out by a blue belt. He put a triangle on me and asked me to try and escape it. I didn't know what to do, so I passed out. To this day, I still remember the 'dream' I'd had when I passed out!"
"I would say that the biggest obstacles in my training years included getting injured, as well as balancing training hard with earning a living.
At the same time, I learned valuable things through this journey. The best advice I received about BJJ was that in combat, learning to defend myself comes first. When it comes to teaching others, I have learned the value of simplifying my knowledge."
"Meanwhile, I encourage children training in martial arts to have fun in their practice. Don't be afraid to "play"! To my adult learners, I would urge you to get comfortable losing and to be comfortable putting yourself in difficult positions often. Yes, this means losing a lot in the beginning. However, it pays off in the long run."
