Humble Beginnings
Starting with just my four children and a few friends as students in a 4m x 11m shop at 72 East St Hadfield, and then growing G-Force Jiu Jitsu into a thriving venue that has positively impacted thousands of families is truly inspiring.
The fact that I had a strong focus on youth and aimed to provide mentorship and guidance for a successful life demonstrated my commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of young individuals and their families. Martial arts, such as Jiu Jitsu, can have a profound impact on personal development, discipline, and self-confidence, making it an ideal platform to instill positive values and life skills.
Creating a family-oriented mission at G-Force contributed to building a tight-knit community and fostering a supportive environment for all involved. It's no surprise that these efforts have yielded such positive outcomes for so many families.
As we continue to evolve and grow, it's essential to remember the core principles that have driven our success over the years. Maintaining a strong commitment to youth empowerment and maintaining a family-oriented approach will help us sustain the positive impact we've had on the community.
