Over time, hobbies are forgotten, goals are postponed and personal growth often takes a back seat.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1696\">But learning doesn't have to stop after school or university.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1819\">In fact, learning a new skill as an adult can improve your physical health, mental wellbeing and overall quality of life.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"2008\">At <strong data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"1849\">Gracie Barra Artarmon<\/strong>, we meet adults every week who decide it's time to try something completely new, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu becomes one of the most rewarding decisions they make.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2013\" \/>\r\n\r\n<h3 data-section-id=\"ccxqax\" data-start=\"2015\"

data-end=\"2701\">Every class is an opportunity to improve, whether that's learning a new technique, moving more confidently or simply feeling more comfortable on the mats.<\/p>\r\n<p
