What Are the Benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

There are a TON of benefits of Jiu-Jitsu, both mentally and physically. You will get fit, lose fat, gain muscle, become more flexible and faster, feel younger, and have fun! Not only that, but learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in New Jersey will help you improve your self-esteem and confidence, as well as learn to defend yourself.

Get Fit!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great workout. You can expect to burn anywhere between 500 and 1,000 calories each time you come to class. You will melt away that excess belly fat quicker than you ever have before, and you will also tone up and build muscle.

Fight Chronic Disease!

Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc. are all very real problems today, with so few people exercising and eating poor diets. Jiu-Jitsu will help you keep your body and heart healthy for the long haul. If your family has a history of diabetes, being overweight, or other obesity-related illnesses, BJJ will be a great form of exercise for you to help you stay healthy.

Improved Self-Confidence!

There is no better way to improve your self-confidence than to know you can defend yourself if confronted with a bad situation. Jiu-Jitsu was created for a smaller and weaker person to be able to defend themselves and effectively subdue a much larger and stronger attacker. By using Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense, you'll feel a lot better if you are forced to defend yourself. Not only that, but as you see your body change you will feel better about yourself and other people will take notice. This newfound confidence will follow you everywhere you go, from the classroom to the boardroom and even into your personal life. BJJ is definitely a great way to improve your life in many aspects.

Is It Safe?

Yes! It is very safe. You don't have to worry about concussions or taking too many hits to the head in BJJ like you do in boxing or football. In BJJ there is no striking and no slams to the head. You will learn to subdue an attacker by taking them to the ground and controlling them without even getting hit, so you never have to worry about brain-related illnesses later in life.
