08.01.2022 WHY LEARN JIU-JITSU? When you think of self-defence, what do you think of? Punching? Kicking? To do these correctly you will require years of training and will most likely seriously hurt your opponent. But when you do these incorrectly then YOU will get hurt.... Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ is a martial art based on grappling and ground fighting, focusing on the skill of controlling one’s opponent through techniques that force him or her to submit. It prides itself in being known as the gentle art, allowing a smaller, weaker person to use leverage and submissions (chokes, locks) to defend themselves against a bigger opponent. Studies show that 95% of street fights end on the ground. The techniques you learn in Jiu-jitsu, which focuses on taking your opponent down to the ground and keeping them there, enables you to control, attack or get into a more dominant position. This gives you the upper hand at all times in a real-life self-defence situation. Anyone: women, men, and even children as young as four years old can practice Jiu-Jitsu. Because it is an art that is designed for a smaller, weaker practitioner to subdue much larger and stronger opponents, virtually anyone of any size, age or gender can practice Jiu-Jitsu. One of the greatest benefits of Jiu-Jitsu is how your body changes without you realising it. Constant drilling sessions and sparring will certainly have an effect on your body! Because you’ve become so focused on learning new techniques, you don’t realise how much weight you’ve lost or how much flexibility you’ve gained in the process. Any workout that doesn’t seem like one is definitely a plus. Whether it’s to learn self-defence, the start of a new hobby or wishing to further your martial arts repertoire, there’s no doubt that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a beautiful art that is accessible to anyone. From its countless lessons to its physical benefits, it becomes clear: the more you train Jiu-Jitsu, the more you realize that it is more than a martial art it’s a #lifestyle.
