PHYSICAL BENEFITS
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a form of fighting system practiced for self-defense, sport, discipline, fitness, and meditation. A practice that involve physical, mental, and spiritual development. There are many physical benefits like fat loss and muscle gain as you work with your whole body in order to learn the skills. Every form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout improves cardiovascular health. As the effort level increases in HIIT workouts, the more oxygen your muscles need to perform. Blood vessels expand, and circulation improves, leading to much better cardiovascular health. Also Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can give you more flexibility, better balance, agility and reflexes.
MENTAL BENEFITS
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be seen as an effective form of therapy. Stress relief techniques are included when our members sign up for a BJJ class. The idea of a one-on-one combat, even in a friendly way, can be a tool to help you let out all the negativity of the day; reducing anxiety, decreasing stress levels, teaching you how to have more self-control giving physical relaxation. Training this martial art will provide you with a very peculiar skill set to defend yourself in threatening scenarios, boosting your self-esteem as you appear more fit and have the knowledge of a deadly combat skill set. Increase of focus is another benefit you gain from practicing BJJ, as you need to focus on singular, repetitive tasks until you perfect them to then combine them in sequences while also trying to anticipate your opponents moves which also helps with memory improvement. As many people view martial arts as a violent exercise without getting deep understanding the values of the practice. The truth is that most martial arts require the exact opposite from you. The physical game is not effective without the mind perception of it. Learning how to remain calm and peaceful in the most stressful situations can help you avoid many conflicts and you bring those lessons into your life off the mats.
