Every martial art has something unique to offer, and if you have unlimited time, resources and athleticism, you should learn them all.
That said, if you want to gain maximum self-defense potential in the least amount of time, nothing compares to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Here are the 10 reasons why BJJ is #1. If you have more to add, let me know in the comments.
1. Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t require you to be stronger than your opponent.
2. Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t require you to hit harder than your opponent.
3. Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t require you to be faster than your opponent.
4. Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t require you to be super athletic or flexible.
5. Jiu-Jitsu allows you to win from the bottom of the fight.
6. Jiu-Jitsu teaches punch protection from every position.
7. Jiu-Jitsu burns their energy while conserving yours.
8. Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t require to injure your opponent.
9. Jiu-Jitsu can be adapted to physical limitations.
10. Jiu-Jitsu can be learned at any age.
If you’ve thought about trying jiu-jitsu but haven’t taken that first step (or you tried BJJ but had a bad experience), the Gracie Combatives program is the perfect starting point. You’ll learn the 36 most important techniques broken down into 23 one-hour classes that are fun and challenging but with the highest emphasis on safety.
The 23-class cycle is restarting with Lesson 1 very soon!
Comment “START” and we’ll send you a link to book in your free trial class for Lesson 1.
We’ll see you on the mat! 🙏👊🥋💥
