There are many reasons people choose to get involved in our classes; it could be because of physical or stress-related reasons. Our adult BJJ classes are fun to take and offer you a chance to socialize and meet new friends with the same goals as you. Some other great reasons people get involved are:

​

• Exercise and Build Strength - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a physically demanding sport that requires strength, endurance, and flexibility. It helps to improve strength, cardiovascular endurance, and muscular endurance. It also helps to improve balance, coordination, and agility. BJJ can help to build strength and tone muscles, as well as improve reflexes, and reaction time. 

• Gain Self-Confidence - BJJ can help to build self-confidence by providing an outlet to learn something new, and develop physical and mental skills. It can also help to build confidence in one’s own abilities, as well as in social situations. The physical and mental challenge of BJJ can also help build self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. 

• Boost Endorphins - BJJ helps to boost endorphins, the “happy hormones” that are released during physical activity. This can help to reduce stress, improve mood, and provide a sense of well-being. The mental and physical challenge of BJJ can also help to build confidence and a sense of accomplishment, which can further increase endorphin levels. 

 

Learn Self-Defense​ and Self-Control - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches self-defense and self-control by providing a safe and controlled environment to learn how to defend oneself against an attacker. Through physical training, practitioners are able to develop physical strength, speed, and agility while also learning the techniques of self-defense.
