When most people think of fightsports, they picture punches, kicks, and grappling. While physical skills are essential, true strength comes from mental resilience. Your ability to stay calm under pressure, control your emotions, and maintain focus directly impacts performance, both in training and in real-life situations.
At The JYM Movement, we’ve designed a 6-week resilience & emotion regulation coaching program to help combat sports enthusiasts like you build mental toughness alongside physical skills.
What is emotion regulation coaching?
Emotion regulation is the practice of understanding and managing your emotional responses in high-pressure moments. In fight sports, this means:
Staying calm during sparring or matches
Controlling stress and adrenaline surges
Maintaining focus under pressure
Responding intentionally rather than reacting impulsively
By combining proven mental coaching techniques with fightsport principles, our program helps you achieve complete resilience, mind and body working in sync.
Who will benefit from this program?
This coaching is perfect for:
Combat sports enthusiasts who want to go beyond physical training
Anyone looking to improve focus, confidence, and emotional control
Individuals who want practical techniques to manage stress, adrenaline, and pressure
Whether you train in boxing, kickboxing, MMA, or self-defense, these skills enhance your performance and daily life.

Yes, we agree. In the ideal world you shouldn’t have the need of self-defence skills. But unfortunately it is. Especially when one looks at the current state of society..
So are you looking to enhance your self-defence skills or simply gain confidence in your personal safety? We have exciting news for you! By popular demand, our self-defence workshop based on the ancient art of Japanese Jujutsu is coming back soon. Whether you are a beginner or have some prior martial arts experience, this workshop is designed to empower individuals of all skill levels.
What is Japanese Jujutsu?
Japanese Jujutsu is a centuries-old martial art that focuses on close combat techniques, combining grappling, joint locks, throws, and strikes to neutralize an opponent. Unlike other martial arts that emphasize strength, Jujutsu teaches practitioners to use the opponent’s energy and movements against them. This makes it an ideal self-defence technique, particularly for those who may not have the physical strength to overpower an attacker.
Jujutsu is often referred to as “the art of flexibility” because of its emphasis on adaptive techniques that respond to various attack scenarios. The beauty of Jujutsu lies in its practicality and versatility, making it effective for both armed and unarmed confrontations. Whether you’re facing an armed attacker or someone larger and stronger, Jujutsu equips you with the skills to defend yourself with ease and efficiency.
1. Learn practical self-defence techniques Our workshop is designed to teach you actionable, real-world techniques you can apply immediately to defend yourself in dangerous situations. You will learn how to break free from holds, counter strikes, and safely neutralize threats, all based on time-tested Jujutsu methods.
2. Gain confidence in your ability to defend yourself One of the main benefits of practicing Jujutsu is the confidence it instills. Knowing you have the skills and techniques to protect yourself gives you the mental strength to stay calm and collected in high-stress situations.
3. Improve your physical fitness and flexibility Jujutsu training is a full-body workout. From strengthening your core to improving your balance, flexibility, and agility, you’ll see noticeable improvements in your physical fitness as you progress through the workshop. Training your body to move with fluidity is not only beneficial in self-defence scenarios but also enhances your overall health and well-being.
4. Connect with like-minded individuals Our workshops offer a supportive, welcoming environment where you can meet other individuals passionate about self-defence and martial arts. Training together with a community can motivate you to push your limits and achieve your personal goals.
5. Suitable for all skill levels Whether you’ve never stepped onto a mat or you’re an experienced martial artist, this workshop is designed for everyone. The techniques will be taught progressively, allowing beginners to learn at their own pace while more experienced practitioners can refine their skills and knowledge.

In this Jujutsu-based self-defence workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience with the following:
Escape Techniques: Learn how to break free from common holds and grabs, both standing and on the ground.

Why Jujutsu is an ideal self-defence system
Japanese Jujutsu’s focus on using technique over brute strength makes it an ideal martial art for people of all shapes, sizes, and physical abilities. Unlike some fighting systems that require significant muscle mass or athleticism, Jujutsu focuses on leverage, timing, and technique—skills that anyone can learn, regardless of their background.
Jujutsu also emphasizes the importance of self-control and awareness. In a self-defence situation, it’s not just about fighting; it’s about assessing the threat, managing your emotions, and responding appropriately. This mental aspect of Jujutsu helps individuals maintain composure and think clearly, even under pressure.
