What is Jiu Jitsu and what are the benefits for me?
Jiu Jitsu, specifically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It emphasizes techniques that allow a smaller, weaker person to defend against and subdue larger opponents using leverage, joint locks, and strangles. Originating from Japanese Jiu Jitsu and later adapted in Brazil (particularly by the Gracie family), BJJ is a self-defense practice, a competitive sport, as well as a way to improve your physical and mental wellness.​
​
Practicing Jiu Jitsu offers some benefits:
​
-
Physical Fitness: burn calories, improves your heart's health, as well as your strength and flexibility.
-
Self-Defense: Learn to defend yourself and prevent bullying.
-
Mental health: Teaches to focus, solve dynamic problems, and to BE in the moment!
-
Decreases Stress: Intense physical activity helps your body secreting "pleasure" hormones like endorphins.
-
Confidence: Development of skills over time that get battle tested.
-
Community: Connecting the members of Akranes' community through a common physical activity.
​
Whether you’re looking to improve your fitness, learn self-defense, or challenge yourself with something NEW and uncomfortable, Jiu Jitsu can offer a form of reward to everybody. While Jiu Jitsu is a sport, it is often rather described as a lifestyle that promotes growth and resilience.
