JIU JITSU'S BENEFITS: Going Beyond the Mat
There are many benefits to training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, all of which depend on what you are looking to gain out of your training. If you're simply looking for a workout, BJJ will make you get in shape fast, all while having fun. In our schools, the workouts are always changing but will always make you sweat- it's not the same old gym routine. If you're looking for self defense, BJJ is considered one of the best self defense martial arts.
If you are looking to fight, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes are a great first step. Almost every fighter in the MMA scene today trains with BJJ classes. No matter your goal, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great hobby to have, and you will be surrounded by like-minded positive people who care about themselves and their health.
“I came to Modern Martial Arts a year ago. Being a 2nd degree black belt in Judo, and having “rolled” with many BJJ practitioners, I had an idea of what to expect. I was expecting a contest of egos and big time grinding. What I got was grinding, but without the egos… I was welcomed and respected by all. This is no accident. The head instructor instills an atmosphere of mutual benefit and respect in all his students.”
