DO IT SCARED!

What began as Professor Fabio’s initiative to help his students overcome their fear of competition with the launch of the first ever Galeb BJJ Cup - Spring edition held in 2024, again presented itself to students on Saturday 17th of May, 2025 as another opportunity to step out onto the mats and test their skills under pressure.

Nothing short of what one might imagine a competition environment to be, the atmosphere was tangled with nervous tension, and high emotions - both joy and fear intertwined.

Some students fought through tears, nerves and possibly the urge to run away but in the end were able to face their opponents who likely, shared the same apprehensions.

Such courage alone deserves commending.

As the day went on, the nerves settled down and the atmosphere loosened up as our competitors realised it was just like training but on a different level. More importantly they had overcome their fear and DID IT SCARED. Absolute champions! 💪👏

The Galeb BJJ Cup helps our students compete safely surrounded by supportive team members, friends and family.

They’ve processed wins and lessons and now understand their game on a new level, pinpointing what they will take away to improve their Jiu Jitsu game - so overall, it’s a Win.

🌟BJJ allows students to overcome their fears. 🌱Competition setting allows students to grow in their Jiujitsu with confidence.
