NO GI
No-Gi is a great transition into martial arts for wrestlers. Due to the lack of friction, it causes students to develop ways to control their opponent when grips are not available. Having the option of slipping out of position causes for a more faster paced sparring/rolling that makes a great overall cardio workout!
BENEFITS OF TRAINING JIU-JITSU
Build Confidence
One of the biggest lessons when starting Jiu Jitsu is to learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. Being calm under pressure allows you to better conserve your energy and plan your next move as opposed to panicking. BJJ also teaches you how to turn your weakness of having a bigger stronger opponent standing over you into your strength, as you learn ground survival techniques to utilize leverage and angles to control, restrain and submit your opponent.
Boost Your Mood
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a never ending journey with plenty of techniques, concepts, and strategies to learn making it challenging and fun as you progress through the ranks. Application of the techniques taught in class require focus and coordination which is the perfect combination to distract you from a stressful day leaving you feeling refreshed physically and mentally once the class is over!
Increase Energy Levels
All the techniques in BJJ require full body engagement which makes it a great form of exercise! Drilling techniques and rolling/sparring is a great full body workout in which the pace is controlled by you. In addition to joining our Academy you also become part of our Jiu-Jitsu Family!
