Benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
MAD SKILLS
BJJ has proved itself across the world as one of the most effective forms of self defense. This comes from the roots of it being a grappling based martial art which allows you to train against other participants going “100%” without risk of injury unlike striking based martial arts.
COMMUNITY
The BJJ community is a small but very tight knit group. Training BJJ has allowed me to travel the world and instantly bond over the passion of BJJ with people from all different background, countries and beliefs.
GET FIT
Training BJJ consistently will get you fit. You don’t have to get fit before you start, training BJJ will get you fit. Training BJJ is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding exercises you can do. Most of the time you won’t even know how hard you have been working out until the end of class.
GAIN CONFIDENCE
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a difficult but rewarding experience. The confidence gained from the skills and lessons learnt through BJJ is one of the best benefits for any child or adult.
