This is for the bloke who used to play sport, still goes to the gym sometimes, but honestly cannot be bothered anymore. Headphones on, nobody talks, same sets, go home. If that sounds familiar, the problem is not your discipline. It is that you are doing something you do not enjoy, with nobody to do it with.

The Northern Beaches Jiu Jitsu 28-Day Kickstarter is $295. That includes: an NBJJA Shirt, your gi or no gi kit, 28 days of unlimited training, and an introductory session with one of the coaches.

In 28 days you will go from never having trained BJJ to having a real foundational understanding of the sport, a reason to look forward to training after work, and a crew who actually know your name. You do not need to be fit or experienced. The training gets you fitter while you learn. There is always something to improve, so there is always a reason to come back. If you put in all 16 sessions and feel no interest in continuing, we will buy back that kit for $150. The only risk is 28 days of doing something you might genuinely enjoy.

This is for the parent whose kid would rather be on a screen than anywhere else. Team sport didn’t stick, they’re a bit shy, or they just haven’t found their thing yet.

That’s not a motivation problem. They just haven’t found something they enjoy, with kids they actually click with.

Northern Beaches Jiu Jitsu Kids 28-Day Kickstarter: $249
Unlimited BJJ and boxing classes over 4 weeks, plus their own gi.

In 28 days your kid will go from never having trained to knowing how to stay calm, protect themselves and handle being under pressure, all through games they’ll beg to come back to. Jiu jitsu builds their confidence on the mat, and boxing burns off all that energy you’ve been wondering where to put.

They don’t need to be sporty or confident. That’s what the classes build. Every week there’s a new skill to nail and a new stripe to chase, so there’s always a reason to come back.

The guarantee: Bring them to at least 8 classes. If they’re not keen to keep going, we’ll buy the gi back for $80.

The only risk is your kid finding something they actually love (and coming home tired for once).
