Part of the Hyperfly "You can't teach heart" mantra is, "The courage to stand up for what is right, yes, to sometimes stand alone." In our journey, we often face moments that challenge our resolve, pushing us to the point where giving up seems like the easier option. But it's in those moments that the heart takes over, reminding us why we started in the first place. I opened JIU JITSU HAUS to be a sanctuary for anyone willing to put their heart into the grind, even when the world tells them to do otherwise. So, when you step onto the mats at JIU JITSU HAUS, Know that you're not just joining a team; you're becoming a part of a community Bound by heart, courage, resilience and unyielding desire to be better today than we were yesterday. FORGED BY ADVERSITY...
