JIU-JITSU PROGRAM DETAILS

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a Brazilian martial art, combat sport, and self-defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was developed from Kodokan judo ground fighting (newaza) fundamentals that were taught to Carlos Gracie and Luiz França in Rio de Janeiro by Mitsuyo Maeda. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu eventually came to be its own defined combat sport through the innovations, practices, and adaptation of judo. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is widely considered to be one of the most effective martial arts for self-defense.

BENEFITS OF JIU-JITSU

• It’s great exercise
• It’s a form of self defence
• You’ll be part of a new community
• It develops your problem solving skills
• It develops your ability to deal with pressure

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches the smaller person how to defend themselves against a larger adversary by using leverage and proper technique. The goal of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is to use leverage and leverage alone to submit your opponent. This means that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an ideal martial art for self-defense because size and strength are not a factor.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu also trains your mind along with your body. When you are sparring or rolling with someone in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you have to be constantly thinking about what your next move is going to be and how you can counter your opponent’s moves. This mental exercise can help you in other aspects of your life where you have to think quickly and make decisions under pressure.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also a great workout. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an aerobic and anaerobic workout because it includes short bursts of energy (anaerobic) followed by periods of rest (aerobic). This type of workout is great for burning fat and building muscle.
