Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a full-contact martial art form based on ground fighting and submission holds and has been on the rise due to the growing popularity of mixed martial arts partly due to the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) becoming a global success in the last couple years. With the growing popularity of BJJ, many may wonder why they should choose this martial art over the many various options and today we will dive deeper into that!

 

1. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a real life fighting system

Contrary to popular belief, studies show that 95% of street fights end on the ground. The techniques you learn in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, which focuses on taking your opponent down to the ground and keeping them there, enables you to attack or get into a more dominant position. This gives you the upper hand at all times in a real-life self-defense situation.

2. Serves as a second line of defense

In the event that you find yourself in a precarious situation, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great second line of defense in case striking doesn’t work. As mentioned above, a street fight will most probably end on the ground, thus enabling you to incapacitate your opponent with submissions should the occasion arise.

3. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be practiced by any age group

Anyone: women, men, and even children as young as four years old can practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Because it is an art that is designed for a smaller, weaker practitioner to subdue much larger and stronger opponents, virtually anyone of any size, age or sex can practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

 

4. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sharpens the mind

Also known as the “game of human chess”, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners utilize a lot of strategy and technique in order to beat their opponents. In fact, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu student will probably come across hundreds of techniques and concepts in just a few years of training!

 

5. Serves as a great entry level into MMA

What do all of the top MMA fighters have in common: a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Anyone who has a solid base in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has the upper hand once the fight hits the ground. It is a great defense against wrestlers as well as strikers who aren’t as adept in the art. In fact, more fighters who aren’t as highly ranked in BJJ have found it necessary to learn how to defend it or prevent it from being used.

6. Lessons learned on the mat are applied directly to your daily life

The more you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the more focused you become on the bigger picture; an important lesson you learn on the mats. Now, nothing can faze you. Whether it’s stress from work or being dumped by a boyfriend or girlfriend, you realize that some things aren’t worth beating yourself up over, giving you an edge over those who aren’t used to experiencing duress on a daily basis.

Coach Meshel Gill is amazing! Both my daughters have grown so much over the past 6 months. I’m seeing improved, discipline, dedication, and strength in both of them. This is a combat sport, coach Gill will challenge your child. If you get out of your “mommy brain” , into training mode, your child will reap the benefits and have learned valuable life skills! Coach Gill has a gift of balancing toughness and compassion in the right moments! This is a gift and she’s an amazing instructor!

My youngest especially. Defeat has been a real struggle for my youngest. When she was beat in a grappling match Coach Gill took the time to sit with her and lift her back up. She said in a match your going to be a hammer or a nail. Sometimes when your learning your going to be the nail, but with every loss you learn something and it makes you better. So your not really loosing your always winning! Then when you get better you will be the hammer. So now if she doesn’t win a match and even in school she’s applied what she’s learned. We have less tantrums and emotional outburst when she looses at something. She says well coach Gill says...... She’s correct! Coach Meshel Gill is a powerful female role model for young girls to learn from. I highly respect her and her training methods! I am seeing amazing growth, confidence, and commitment in my oldest as well. Given how stressful high school, college , and life can be this is a great experience for them both! Thank you coach Gill! You’re awesome!

My son has been going there for over an year now. We have had the best experience with warrior martial arts. He enjoys it and I can definitely tell he has a boost of confidence from this training and learned skills and techniques to defend himself, Also my daughter she is not even 2 yr old ready to start training...😊

Both of our sons have been taking Mixed Martial Arts at Warrior Martial Arts for several years now and we can't say enough good things about the entire staff and their program. While the goals for each are different, I know they are both receiving the best training possible while the instructors instill the necessary skills for them to become leaders that display discipline, confidence and respect in any situation.

Both boys have grown so much while at Warrior. They are much more confident and respectful, and have improved their overall athletic abilities across a number of different sports. The staff works really hard to come up with fun and creative ways to keep all the students engaged, so much so I have a feeling the kids often don't even know that's what they are doing. Best of all, Warrior Martial Arts is creating a family environment where our boys have created lifelong friends through the various "social" activities offered to us.
