CORE VALUES, MISSION & METHODOLOGY
G.R.I.T. Stands for...
GRATITUDE – by giving our best every time we step in and out of the mat.
RESPECT – by learning basic rules that will teach us how to be kind and honest with each other.
INTEGRITY – by showing up and having commitment to yourself, your goals and your training partners.
TEAM WORK – It takes a village to build a home, and even though Jiujitsu is considered an individual sport, without our team mates and professors we will never learn and progress.
We believe these are not only principles, but necessary skills to succeed in any aspect of life. And our goal is to pass GRIT on to our students by teaching them the real martial art of Brazilian Jiujitsu with a structured curriculum and methodology, and at the same time providing a safe family environment where we can all meet and have fun times together.
Our Teaching Methodology
Located in Plano (TX), the first GRIT Factory Self Defense Martial Arts has a structured program that provides “Jiu-jitsu for all, and Jiu-Jitsu for life”. From someone that has never heard of jiujitsu to the highest ranking belts, we have specific training for everyone.
Jiujitsu is an ongoing learning process, and we understand that even after you become a black belt you can still learn new techniques, because the practice is always evolving.
Our school is different because we have a program carefully created to teach jiujitsu from the beginner to the most advanced level, with a step by step process to guide our students through every stage of each belt. And our graduation system will only allow a student that has fully learned the required techniques for their level and has passed the graduation test to go on to the next level, which unfortunately is not done in most jiujitsu academies. Your belt or stripe should never be bought, it should be earned.
If you want to have a healthy lifestyle, improve mobility and physical fitness, find a good community of diverse but like minded people, or even become a professional BJJ athlete, we are here for you. Let us know your goals and we will give our best to help you in this journey.
