Back in high school football, my coach had a saying: “Excuses are like a**holes — everybody has one.” The same thing shows up in Jiu Jitsu. Over the years, I’ve heard every excuse in the book for why people don’t train — too old, too busy, too expensive, too scared of injuries. In this episode, I break down the top 10 excuses people use to avoid training Jiu Jitsu, and why none of them hold up if you’re serious about bettering yourself.

Whether you’re a cop, a first responder, or just someone looking for a new challenge, this conversation will expose the lies we tell ourselves, and show you how training solves more problems than it creates.

If you’ve been on the fence, or if you catch yourself making some of these excuses, this one’s for you.
