“When I Was A Beginner…” :
Fitness and Martial Arts Instructors Reminisce
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 Assistant Instructor Ronny.
“Honestly, I started martial arts because I was being bullied in school; other kids would try to take my stuff and if I didn’t give in, I would get beaten up. Going home with bruises was not uncommon. My first brush with martial arts was when I practiced Japanese Jiu-Jitsu in high school, followed by Aikido in college. I picked up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2011."
"My most memorable memory as a white belt would be at my first BJJ competition. I was really nervous, and during the match, just moved with no purpose. It was complete chaos. I lost of course, but I still keep the video of this match today. I review it whenever preparing for a competition, as a reminder to myself that I can and will perform better."
"I never thought I would make it this far, though. Back in the day, it was hard to get a blue belt in Indonesia, and not many had the privilege to train under a Black Belt. So I thought I would quit after my blue belt promotion!
Some of the challenges I faced would be the self-doubt I felt when I was a purple belt; believing that my technique didn’t work or that I was not improving. However, I learned from my coaches to keep on training even if it feels like I am not growing. Perseverance can pay off."
