- [How to Survive and Thrive as a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu](https://dojonine.com/how-to-survive-and-thrive-as-a-white-belt-in-brazilian-jiu-jitsu/): Starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a white belt feels scary. You will get beaten up. You will feel lost. But here's what we want to tell you: every black belt started exactly where you are right now.

- [Fight For Fitness](https://dojonine.com/fight-for-fitness/): The fitness industry has suffered too long. If there is one thing we have learned (from many) over the last year is how important our health is. Now we need to make our voices be heard to our government.

- [Dear Jiu-jitsu](https://dojonine.com/dear-jiu-jitsu/): It’s weird. I used to see you almost every day. I used to put on my gi in a rush. I used to put on my belt, looping it around my back, and tightening it firmly around my waist in front of me. I thought about my stripes, and what they meant. I would think about how far I have come in my Jiu-jitsu journey, and how far I still have to go. I would tell myself, “do your best”. I used to stand proudly in line by rank beside my Jiu-jitsu brothers and sisters. I used to face my professors, waiting with expectation for the lessons and challenges that were about to begin. All that has ended for now.
- [Yin and Yang](https://dojonine.com/yin-and-yang/): If we are going to learn Jiu-jitsu, we are probably going to do it in an academy that pairs us with a training partner in almost every class. As a result, it  is important to understand how to be a good training partner.
- [Rolling in new territory](https://dojonine.com/rolling-in-new-territory/): The sport and discipline of Jiu-jitsu has grown internationally. The consequent opening of many academies in cities around the world means that Jiu-jitsu is now a sport that can be practiced almost anywhere. As long as we pack a gi, a rashgaurd, and our belt, we can train all over
- [Fear & loathing in Jiu-jitsu](https://dojonine.com/fear-loathing-in-jiu-jitsu/): There are different kinds of fears we can have. Beginners might fear being too out of shape to start. Those further along might fear they are not good enough, or the hard training and physical demands of the sport.
- [Gentle in Jiu-jitsu](https://dojonine.com/gentle-in-jiu-jitsu/): While no one could deny the effectiveness of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, the more subtle aspects of the martial art have not always been promoted. Specifically, why Jiu-jitsu is referred to as the “arte suave” in Portuguese, or the “gentle art” in English?
- [Rising Phoenix](https://dojonine.com/rising-phoenix/): There are ways to minimize the occurrence of injuries, and the human body is able to recover from almost any injury that occurs in training, but injuries are still often looked as a negative part of the sport. Injuries can be painful, take time and effort to heal, and also exact a psychological and emotional toll.
- [Elements of Coaching](https://dojonine.com/elements-of-coaching/): While the Jiu-jitsu student/coaching relationship seems straightforward (payment for instruction), the reality is coaching Jiu-jitsu is a complex and personal thing. Accordingly, there are some hidden aspects to coaching Jiu-jitsu that are important but not obvious. Part of this is on purpose, a good coach wants your priority to be your training and development, and not for you to worry about other things.
- [Little Grasshopper Lessons](https://dojonine.com/little-grasshopper-lessons/): When it comes to success in Jiu-jitsu, the simple truth is that coaching matters. This is the reason why some academies are so successful in producing world champions. And why many head instructors trace their lineage with pictures of their coach and their coach’s coach on the dojo wall.
- [The Secret Sauce](https://dojonine.com/the-secret-sauce/): Whether you are new to Jiu-jitsu or a veteran, one question you will eventually consider is whether to compete. This is a natural question because our development in Jiu-jitsu is relational. We train not just to get better compared to people who are not training, we also want to improve at the same rate or faster than people we train Jiu-jitsu with. It is in the quest to maximize the rate of our progress, especially relative to other practitioners, that options like competition present themselves.
- [Beyond Excuses](https://dojonine.com/beyond-excuses/): Many people who start Jiu-jitsu quit within the first year. Why do some beginners stick with Jiu-jitsu while others quit? The common explanations are that Jiu-jitsu is too hard, takes up too much time, causes injury, or that it is too expensive.
- [Childrens Jiu-jitsu](https://dojonine.com/childrens-jiu-jitsu/): While a parent cannot always be physically present, it is possible to give a child the right tools to succeed in school. Enrolling children in Jiu-jitsu classes will give them five important tools that will help them succeed in school and, even more importantly, to succeed in life!
- [Words from the Winner](https://dojonine.com/words-from-the-winner/): Participating in this fitness challenge, I was able to lose 30lbs in 3 months. It was more due to desperation, rather than inspiration, which made me want to join the contest and lose the weight.
- [Jiu Jitsu Philosophy](https://dojonine.com/jiu-jitsu-philosophy/): The list of accomplishments of Master Renzo in the realm of Jiu-jitsu is almost too long to compile, but probably his greatest accomplishment is who he is as a person.
- [Training Kids](https://dojonine.com/training-kids/): There really is a safe, natural and extremely effective way to take charge and positively impact every aspect of your child’s life.
- [Challenge your body](https://dojonine.com/challenge-your-body/): Challenge your body conclusion:
