The F*ck it Moment

Yes yes bad language. I’m sorry.

I was chatting to one of my Brown Belts the other day ( a brown belt in BJJ is very advanced level) about my blogs. He said that he started training after I sent an email about having a F*ck It! moment when you make your decision. He started that day and isn’t just still training, he’s now a Brown belt (very advanced level, like I said) and coaches here. So I thought I’d revisit it.

Maybe someone reading might have their moment today.

I’m not a procrastinator, I’m pretty impulsive. If I make a decision to do something, I’ll usually do it pretty quickly. But not everyone is the same. Some people watch us for months or even years before deciding to even get in touch. What they need is the F*ck It! moment. And when it comes they never regret it. I’ve never had anyone say “Dammit why didn’t I start LATER!”

That’s the moment when you stop thinking about the negatives. Do I have the time? Is it worth the money? Am I fit enough? Am I too old? Are they all going to be animals? Or, at least, you still think about the negatives but choose to ignore them.

We work hard on getting people over those negatives and into the gym for the first time. But ultimately it needs someone to just say F*ck it! Today is the day.

See you on the mat!
