Would a free Brazillian Jiu Jitsu trial be suitable for a disabled 50 year old?

    Thank you @Community_Scope, I was concerned about some of the comments on here and in some ways I regret posting the topic.

    Don't let people scaremonger your passion or dreams on here, just don't take any notice. If you want to do something and feel you can do it, go for it.

    Don't let others stop you.

    And to answer your questions any martial art is suitable for anyone. From my understanding alot are friendly and welcome all types of people usually and will adapt lessions round you.

    Enjoy your Jiu Jitsu if you go for it!

    I spoke to someone called Nush from Gracie Barra this morning by text, they've offered to reduce the price to £89 a month for twice a week training, which is good of them but I can only spare once a week and even that's pushing the Boat out a bit.

    I've rung and emailed my finance company to see if it's feasible, no response yet (WHY do these flippin' finance companies always end up being run by people with the communication skills of a Sheep who don't respond to correspondence unless they want summat? SO annoying!)

    The application form to a martial arts club? Do the DWP know you practice jiu jitsu, have you mentioned that in their forms?

    Mate, stop trolling, even if I did practice Jiu Jitsu (and I don't), they're fully aware I train once a week in Taekwondo and don't care.

    Due to the cost of the classes, as I pointed out yesterday, I am not persuing the Jiu Jitsu classes.

    I'm trying to help report but the report function has stopped working. Its disgusting some attitudes people have on here with PIP, and want to vent their own suffering onto others. Its got nothing to do with other people what you get your pip for. They have nothing better to do than to put others down all the time.

    Did your finance company get back to you? or have you now given up on Jiu Jitsu and just doing taekwondo?

    Hi @rubin16, I'm not sure what's happening with the reports but I'll bring it up tomorrow and hopefully we can get it sorted soon.

    With regards to this discussion, I feel that we should now move on as @SheffieldMan1976 has answered enough questions about this. Please remember that we all have different reasons for receiving PIP.

    Unfortunately I have decided to close this discussion to avoid escalating tensions further.
