Features and Benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a highly effective martial art for men, women, and children. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu empowers its practitioners to consistently overcome larger, stronger, and more aggressive opponents through the use of proper timing, positioning, leverage and technique. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a sophisticated grappling system, which includes throws, hold downs, and submissions. It can be practiced recreationally, or competitively, at all ages. Regular practice encourages a high level of physical fitness, increased coordination, a developed problem solving ability, and camaraderie.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a powerful system of self-defense, it forms the basis for the U.S. Army’s Modern Combatives program, it is considered a foundational discipline for professional mixed martial artists, and many of the techniques are very well suited for women’s self-defense situations. While speed and strength will always be factors in physical altercations, a well-trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, male or female, will be able to negate much of his or her opponent’s power through the use of proper technique, leverage, timing and positioning.
