Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a grappling and wrestling-based martial art that emphasizes control, strength, and momentum as ways to defeat opponents. It is a physical and mental practice that allows practitioners to channel their worrying energy into something more useful and practical, more than merely a form of hand-to-hand conflict.
Regardless of a student’s basic knowledge and skill, here at Gracie’s Humaita Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our sessions are available to all fitness levels and offer several advantages. As long as you are dedicated to the training and receptive to the teachings of our team of licensed instructors, you will advance and improve.
Why You Should Consider BJJ As An Adult:
- Improve your physical condition and strength.
Jiu-jitsu is a form of exercise that will help you get in the best form of your life, just like with any martial art. Being a rookie, you will be learning the fundamentals and getting in shape for the demands of more advanced movements and techniques. As you advance through each belt level, you’ll notice that you have a heightened awareness of how your body is positioned as you gain control over your emotions and manipulation. As an added benefit of consistent training, you will also notice that you are getting stronger as your stamina and endurance considerably improve.
- Gain Confidence
Are you prone to anxiety? Do you lack self-assurance? Any martial art you learn can help you, but jiu-jitsu provides you the structure and self-assurance to improve your self-worth. You’ll discover that as you advance through each training level, you have greater regard for both your journey and your skills. Our instructors will help you along the way because learning a martial art requires growing confidence.
- Relieve Stress
Stress reduction and reduced anxiety have been linked to our adult BJJ training as potential additional benefits. While many individuals are aware of the advantages of stress reduction through enhanced awareness and meditation, few take into account the commonalities of a martial arts discipline. Additionally, BJJ is about mastering and developing a clearer mindset that is present-focused and about controlling chaotic thinking. This is attained by holding highly concentrated training sessions which necessitate intense concentration, leaving little opportunity for worries and anxiety while training.
