The Goals of Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu inherited its emphasis on using off-balancing, leverage, and the opponent's own power, as well as a majority of its technique from Kodokan Judo. However, there has been considerable divergence since that time as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu evolved. Some argue that the differences are more in culture and moral goals than in the physical principles and techniques of the two arts.
The main difference is that Judo, especially in its Olympic sport form, emphasizes throws, while Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes submission of the opponent using joint locks or chokes. Judo has a much higher amount of referee intervention; in Judo matches, the competitors are often returned to the standing position, while in Jiu-Jitsu matches, the participants are generally allowed to remain on the ground while working for a submission.
Benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
By pursuing a typically rigorous practice schedule, BJJ students enjoy a wide variety of tangential benefits:
• Self-control
• Self-confidence
• Weight loss
• Increased flexibility
• Increased lean body mass
• Cardiovascular conditioning
• Positive attitude
• Agility and motor coordination
• Stress reduction
• Fighting and self-defense skills
Why should I study Brazilian Jiu-jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is the martial art of the future. A unique and highly combative art form, BJJ uses leverage to disadvantage opponents. Independent of size and strength, both male and female students can be extremely effective defending themselves. Popularized in "reality fighting tournaments", BJJ consistently proves itself against other fighting arts. Although known for lethal grappling skills, BJJ maximizes the leverage principle by employing two other combat techniques...kicking and punching. You will learn how to position yourself to effectively choke and joint-lock opponents into submission. Unlike other martial arts, BJJ is active... participation is expected.
How often should I train?
Depending on one's goals, effective BJJ can be learned in as few as 2 practice sessions per week. As in any sport, the more one practices, the faster one becomes proficient. The key, however, isn't so much quantity as it is quality. Practicing bad technique will not achieve good results.
