Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/BJJ is a popular martial arts discipline that is practiced worldwide. It is popular for many reasons, such as the fitness benefits, community, competitive sport aspect, and practical applicability to real life Self Defense situations. Jiu-Jitsu teaches students the discipline and control to de-escalate altercations before they begin, and how to subdue an opponent without punches or kicks. Classes are a great workout, specifically for improving functional strength and endurance. Jiu-Jitsu teaches students how to control their bodies and those of their opponents, making it a great choice for new and longtime martial artists alike.

Advantages of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu/BJJ

BJJ is a grappling art, unlike boxing or karate, which means that it doesn’t involve any punches or kicks. Although this may seem to put it at a disadvantage against other disciplines, it actually allows martial artists to control their opponent more effectively by eliminating the space between them. In a Jiu-Jitsu round, the two opponents are connected at all times, fighting to move from position to position. A round ends either when the timer rings, or one opponent taps to the other’s submission. In BJJ classes, students are taught how to manipulate one another’s energy to allow them to get into a dominant position, and how to safely perform submissions to end a fight. In tournaments, a good submission can win a match, and on the street they can keep an attacker subdued without having to throw a punch.

Since Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is all about control, natural advantages like height and strength are less valuable than discipline and knowledge of the art. Jiu-Jitsu is widely agreed to be the most egalitarian discipline when it comes to opponents of different sizes and strengths. Although good fitness is always useful in a physical art, practicing BJJ actually builds functional strength due to the positions that must be maintained during a match.

What Training BJJ Looks Like

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes at Forged Self Defense cater to students of all levels, from beginners to black belts. Classes usually start with some cardiovascular warmups and stretching, followed by instructional periods during which a coach will demonstrate a technique and give students time to practice it with one another. High intensity drills give students a chance to train the technique with real energy and break a sweat. Classes always end with time for ‘rolling’, or pairing up with a partner and working all the techniques and positions they know. The intensity of rolling can depend on what the coach specifies, the rank of the students, or how gentle or hard they want to go.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu allows students to work at their own pace, and encourages those with more experience to help newcomers. It is incredible for higher-ranking BJJ students to watch white belts begin to understand the fundamentals and grow exponentially in their first few months. The near infinite number of techniques and ways to practice them promotes creativity, and allows students to learn from everyone around them, regardless of belt rank. Jiu jitsu is not something that can ever be mastered, because everyone learns and practices it in their own way. If you are looking for something that challenges your body and mind, teaches you Self Defense, offers a good workout, and provides a great community, give Forged Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a try.

Martial arts has always been used for athletes to compete via combat, but is also a fantastic way for people to exercise. One of the most popular martial arts today, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), is a multidimensional martial art that can really put your body through a tough work-out. Unlike standard exercise routines, you don’t have to exercise each individual muscle group; instead, you merely spend 20 minutes “rolling” (the term used for practicing, or sparring). After just 20 minutes of rolling with a partner and engaging in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, your entire body will have received a work out that would have otherwise taken you hours.

Because most of BJJ is spent on the ground, you will end up putting lots of weight and pressure on your feet, knees, and thighs; especially if you are in top position. On the bottom, you may think that you have it easy being that you can lay on your back, but this is not the case. High-level BJJ practitioners do not in fact lay flat on their back. As relaxing as it may seem, this is a very bad flaw in technique. You want to be perched up, at least slightly, in order to spring into action. This requires a lot of core strength sourcing from your abs to remain in ready position when on your back.

In other positions it’s your arms that will get a work out. Much of BJJ comes down to “hand-fighting” which is the strategical battle that goes on between you and your opponents hands. Constantly fighting your opponent’s upper-body strength while attempting to maintain proper wrist control is a very physically demanding task.

Even though most BJJ matches are not spent on the feet, it does physically pose equally as intense. You will often tie up with your opponent in search of takedowns that could come from various wrestling techniques, or perhaps a variety of different Judo throws. Whichever means you seek out to attempt to get your opponent on the ground will prove physically demanding. It’s not easy throwing something your size and weight around; especially when it is fighting back.

BJJ provides an all-in-one package for those wanting to combine core workouts with upper-body and most importantly, a lot of fun. BJJ not only exercises the body, but also the mind. Most BJJ matches are fought as if they are chess-matches; it comes to sharp technique and proper positioning that wins or finishes matches. If you’re looking for a martial art that will benefit your body in multiple ways, BJJ is an excellent choice.
