Why Jiu Jitsu?

Full Body Workout

One of the greatest benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the improvement on your overall fitness without you realizing it. Constant drilling sessions and sparring will certainly have an effect on your mind and body.

Self Defense

Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective martial arts for self-defense where the smaller and less athletic individual can defend themselves against larger and stronger opponents. It relies on efficient techniques that are practiced in live sparring situations that are closer to simulating a one-on-one situation

Confidence

The combination of training, getting fitter, learning something new, meeting new people, testing your comfort zone, and learning to deal with stress are all parts of a recipe for building your self-confidence.
