Fitness
With such a fast pace, you’ll be burning tons of calories while practicing Jiu-Jitsu. While BJJ is likely to help you shed a few pounds, it’s going to make you a stronger athlete in every respect. Jiu-Jitsu is known for increasing flexibility, building muscle mass, quickening reflexes, and improving coordination. If you’re a multi-sport athlete, Jiu-Jitsu is about to become your best friend.
Grappling
While many martial art disciplines incorporate grappling here and there, when it comes to BJJ, grappling is at the core of all your training. Not familiar with grappling? Here’s what you need to know – instead of utilizing weapons or striking, grappling is all about getting your opponent to concede through physical dominance. The rules and techniques of grappling vary depending on whether one is practicing Gi or No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, as well as whether it’s being done in a sport or self-defense style. When grappling in BJJ, you will spend the majority of your time fighting from the ground and will likely utilize many different types of chokes.
Self-Defense
Made for the real-world, BJJ is a form of self-defense that every person should master. BJJ focuses on ground level altercations – utilizing holds, throws, blows, and a variety of submission techniques. This makes Jiu-Jitsu ideal when learning how to take on an opponent who may be larger than you, without necessarily having to hurt them.
Positive Environment
You’ll love BJJ because we love BJJ. At Nelson Jiu-Jitsu, we are passionate about sharing the gift of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with our community. We aim to create an environment where every single student has the ability to accomplish their goals – whatever they may be. It doesn’t matter if you’ve spent your entire life training in MMA and are exploring your newest martial arts discipline. Or if you’re just trying to break away from the monotony of the gym, we will exceed your expectations.
Community
From the moment anyone steps into our building, they will be met with a supportive and inclusive environment of instructors and fellow students who want them to succeed. Because students regularly spar each other in class. You may be surprised to learn how strong the friendships in our BJJ classes are. Jiu-Jitsu teaches students the thrill of winning as well as the humility of losing. We make sure our students respect each other throughout all the highs and lows of their training.
No-Gi
When practicing No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll shed your uniform for stretchy athletic wear, such as shorts and a rash guard. Without the lapel and collar of a kimono to grab hold of, No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu is faster and requires quick thinking. While it’s up for you to decide, many feel that No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu is better when it comes to preparing for real-life altercations.
