Ten years ago ORIGINS JiuJitsu was founded by a group of individuals with an affinity for the martial arts. The group’s aim was to help each other improve their lives through JiuJitsu. Since then, the ORIGINS community has grown to over 500 active members—kids, men, and women ranging from 5 to 50 years old. ORIGINS Martial Arts prides itself in having an open academy atmosphere, wherein practition
ers both new and old are welcome to train regardless of affiliations with other JiuJitsu teams. It is the first ever martial arts gym in the country to have dedicated programs for top executives, corporate employees, and professionals, highlighting how beneficial JiuJitsu is to busy men and women especially when managing stress. When it comes to families, children as young as 6 years old can benefit from JiuJitsu-based movements. Young students are able to develop intellectual curiosity, social sensitivity, physical stamina, brain development, social skills, and problem solving skills among others. The team is headed by JJFP, Jiu-Jitsu International Federation, and International Brazilian JiuJitsu Federation recognized Black Belt TJ Sulit. Professor TJ Sulit is a lifelong martial artist with over 33 years of competing and 22 years of coaching under his belt. TJ is also active as an international JiuJitsu referee, being the first Filipino to referee in the JiuJitsu International Federation World Championships. He is also a Level 2 Precision Nutrition Coach. ORIGINS is a reflection of the family and community’s core values where health, friends, learning constantly, helping others, and having fun always come first.
