The hidden truth that Google does not tell you about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
A quick Google search is enough for you to learn that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best martial art for all ages and physiques. BJJ helps you to lose weight, sharpen focus and concentration, while still teaching you efficient self-defense techniques and much more.
But the most important thing is not shown in the search results: there is no such thing as DIY Jiu-Jitsu!
Differently from gardening, cooking or doing small home repairs, when it comes to learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu you must learn from the best: Gracie Barra, now in Kuna!
Jiu jitsu is for you, even if:
#1
You have never practiced a martial art
#2
Think you’re too old to start
#3
Not in your best physical shape
#4
Don’t feel confident to start
6 benefits of Brazilian
jiu jitsu
FOR EVERYONE
Self-defense
Imagine if someone grabs you from behind, tries to drag you, among other threatening situations. Through successful BJJ practice and training, you will learn the appropriate methods for grappling and subduing opponents with little risk of injury to yourself.
Self-control
Have you ever overreacted to a situation that caused you to regret for many days later? Jiu-Jitsu will teach you to control your own reactions in the moments when the stakes are high, and the positive effects are often seen during the time you are not inside the gym.
Helps you to relax
The power of exercise is that it helps people relax by releasing endorphins to the brain that elevate mood, which reduces anxiety and also helps you to have a better rest at the end of the day.
Strength
A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu session can last an hour and a half and burns up to 1,000 calories. It increases your metabolism and helps you look and feel fitter.
FOR KIDS
Perseverance and self-esteem
For many kids, self-esteem is rooted in the wrong places: academic performance, comparing him or herself to a sibling, being scolded for behavioral issues. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can re-center your child’s idea of self-worth to be proud not only of performance but of effort.
Experiencing Adversity
Your child will have the opportunity to serve as both a student and a teacher, which helps them to develop resilience and pride in what they know.
Confidence
Kids will learn that focus and consistency in training have a direct effect on their performance, which is also very important in other aspects of their lives like preventing bullying.
Learn to lead
Bullies look for easy prey. Learning Jiu-Jitsu helps children to build the confidence to avoid the situation while dissuading the bully from continuing to bother them.
