Member profile Xav and JaymeLee
***How long have you been members with us?***
.
Both Jayme and Xav signed up together and have been members for nearly 2 years. Started training November 2021. Xav - Wish I signed up 20 years earlier.
.
***What do you love about training with us?***
.
Xav - Horsham BJJ provides a safe, supportive and great training environment, everyone is very welcoming right from the start and I now have some great mates here who are unreal training partners.
.
JL - we’re a family, doesn’t matter whether you come from a martial arts background or no experience at all, everyone is so willing to help each other and have a good laugh
.
***What’s your favourite Jiu Jitsu move?***
.
Xav - Arm Bar, it makes my night if I can get one in a live roll. Also anything with inversions, spins and flips.
.
JL - Gullotine or lapel half Nelson (if I can get it)
.
***What thing/things are you most proud of, that are a result of training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?***
.
Xav - I am most proud about my progression in the sport and applying to my life where I can. Jiu-jitsu is one of the most humbling activities you can do, it teaches you so much about yourself and I am learning more than just jiu-jitsu moves each lesson. Also very proud of my wife Jayme for her attitude and dedication to the sport as well.
.
JL - every few months that go by you realise the progress you’ve made during your rolls by the new moves you incorporate into rolling and how well those moves flow into something
.
***What’s your main goal/focus for the rest of the year?***
.
Xav - my goals for the rest of the year are the same for the rest of my life now, Learn as much as I can from every class, keep a good attitude and be a good training partner and help others where I can just like how I get help from others.
.
JL - slowing down in my rolls and taking more time to look for everything that’s available rather than committing to a single move and using all my energy to get it.

“jitz isn't something that I've been doing since the age of 10 like some of the wizards we have in our kids classes. I started at 23 and although at that age I wasn't short of confidence I didn't realise just how much more confidence you could gain. Even just in the beginning stages jitz definitely somewhat forces you to get comfortable with weird situations that may have otherwise caused panic. But leaning how to maintain composure and still think clearly whilst someone is sitting on top of you, I know has served me well.”

***What’s your main goal/focus for the rest of the year?***

“Working towards my blue belt and trying to break/pass Jayme-lee's guard”
