You're a hairdresser who trains three nights a week. An accountant who just got your brown belt. A gym owner in a city where half your potential clients don't even know you exist yet. You're good at what you do — both on the mat and off it. But you're busy, and the last thing you need is another platform that takes an afternoon to figure out.
The Services Module on NEWAZA Network was built for exactly that. It's a clean, direct way to put your professional skills in front of the BJJ community — the people most likely to need, trust, and hire someone who actually understands the culture.
What the Services Module actually is
Think of it as your dedicated page inside a marketplace built exclusively for the BJJ world. A coach can list their private lesson rates, availability, and specialties. A photographer can post their portfolio and tournament rates. A nutritionist can explain their approach and let people book a consult. A gym equipment supplier can list what they carry.
Whatever you do professionally — if it's relevant to this community, it belongs here. And because NEWAZA is where BJJ people actually go to do business, you're not shouting into the void.
"Your next client is already on the mat. They just don't know you exist yet."
The four things that make a strong listing
1. A clear headline — not your belt rank
Your belt rank tells us you train. Your headline should tell us what you do. "Private coaching for competitors — Tokyo and online" is far more useful than "Purple belt, 8 years experience." Save the credentials for the body of your listing, where they actually build trust.
2. One specific offer
The temptation is to list everything you're capable of. Resist it. A listing that says "I do private lessons, team training, seminar bookings, and online coaching" makes people work harder to understand how to hire you. Pick your primary offer and lead with that. You can always add more later — when you know what's resonating.
3. Honest pricing (or a real reason why it's not listed)
Price visibility matters more than most people think. Listings with pricing attract more serious inquiries and fewer time-wasters. If your pricing is genuinely bespoke, say so — and tell people what drives the variation. "Rates depend on session length and location — message me and I'll have a number for you within 24 hours" is far better than silence.
4. A photo that shows the work, not just you
A headshot is fine. A photo from ringside, in the gym, or of your actual work is better. If you're a photographer, your cover image is your portfolio. If you're a coach, a shot from a session says more than any bio line ever could. Use the visual space to do the talking.
The two things that kill inquiries before they start
Even a well-written listing will go quiet if it leaves two questions unanswered: where are you? and when are you available? These aren't details — they're the first things a potential client checks before they decide whether to reach out at all. If the answer isn't visible, most people won't ask. They'll just move on.
Location — be specific, and be broader than you think
Listing your city is the floor, not the ceiling. "Tokyo" tells someone you exist there. "Shibuya-ku, with sessions also available in Shinjuku and Minato" tells them whether you're actually convenient. If you're willing to travel — say so. If you work online — say so, clearly, not as an afterthought buried in the bio. Many coaches treat remote work as a fallback; for the right client it's the whole point.
The other thing most people get wrong: they list location as a hard wall instead of a soft boundary. "I'm based in Osaka but I travel to Kobe and Kyoto regularly" opens three markets instead of one. If your service is physical — mats, a camera, hands-on work — give people a radius. A specific, generous location statement is the single biggest thing you can do to stop qualified leads from self-selecting out before they even message you.
Availability — give real information, not a holding pattern
Vague availability is the polite version of "don't contact me." Phrases like "flexible schedule" or "availability varies" sound reasonable but communicate nothing — and nothing creates hesitation. The person on the other side is trying to picture whether working with you is realistic. Help them do that.
You don't need to publish a full calendar. You just need enough signal. "Weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, Tokyo" is short and does real work. If you're currently fully booked, say that too — and tell people when to check back or how to join a waitlist. A sold-out listing with a clear next step beats an available listing that feels like a dead end.
Who's already finding clients through NEWAZA
If your service touches the BJJ world, there's a buyer in this community who's been waiting for someone exactly like you.
The one mistake worth avoiding
Setting up your listing and walking away. NEWAZA is a community platform, not a job board. The professionals who get traction are the ones who show up consistently — responding quickly to inquiries, updating their listing when availability changes, and staying visible in the community itself.
