One of the main reasons is because people are realizing Jiu-Jitsu is not just about self-defense, it is also about self-transformation. Jiu-Jitsu engages the individual in a dynamic way benefiting the practitioner mentally, emotionally and physically regardless of age or fitness level. Mentally - the learning centers of the brain are turned on, increasing circulation and flooding the brain with ne
urotrophic factors that decrease inflammation, promote brain cell growth and increase longevity. Emotionally - you will overcome your fears as you train yourself to become more relaxed, calm and present in uncomfortable and unfamiliar situations. Physically - you will literally turn back the biological clock. You will lose weight, become stronger, more flexible, more connected and more confident. At the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Wrestling Academy we truly believe that Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone and we are committed to creating an environment that allows you to experience a better version of yourself through the gentle art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
