Bay Jiu-Jitsu exists to provide people with the tools they need to build confidence and strength in all aspects of their lives. We do this through martial arts classes, online content, and community events that challenge our students to push beyond and overcome physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Bay Jiu-Jitsu is built around five core values: 1. IT’S FUN BECAUSE IT’S HARD We know that discomfort accelerates our growth. We get out of our own way. We embrace challenging situations that make us stronger. We don’t fear failure, we learn from it. We make moves, not excuses. We understand quitting is not an option. 2. ACTIVELY PROGRESSING We are open-minded when it comes to new ways of approaching problems and jump at the opportunity to learn from others. We welcome constructive feedback and grow from it. We challenge the status quo by seeking clarity and asking questions. We know that what got us here won’t get us there. 3. OWNERSHIP We believe in our core that we are changing our lives and the lives of our training partners. We wake up every morning ready to be the best and give the best version of ourselves to our community. If a teammate needs help, we step up to the plate and help them. If we notice a problem in the gym, we take action to make sure it gets resolved. 4. INCLUSIVITY We welcome a friendly training environment to anyone regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or race. We are each other’s biggest cheerleaders. We work well with others, communicate directly and respectfully, and set clear expectations. We are positive, optimistic, and bring each other up. 5. WHAT WE LEARN ON THE MAT, WE TAKE INTO THE WORLD We are committed to living our best lives as a whole. We train consistently, take care of our bodies and minds, and live true to our own personal values. Our discipline, commitment, and tenacity translates into our daily lives outside of the gym. When life pulls us down, we stand up and get right back at it.
