More than one member has come in bored with the gym, looking to increase fitness. Even more they like the additional bonus that their exercise time now comes with learning a life-enhancing skill. When exercise becomes not a chore but a pleasure - like Gracie jiu-jitsu - you almost forget that it is exercise. You start to focus on the challenge of the game - the mental and physical aspects. You’re not counting steps, laps, stairs or repetitions. You might be counting the many different types of grabs, holds, tackles and punches you can defend yourself against. Or how long you can stay calm in a bad position. Gracie Jiu-jitsu is unlike other martial arts. You need to experience it for yourself to understand how practical and reality-based it is.
*Note: Not all Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools teach the standing and street self-defense techniques handed down from Helio Gracie to his sons. Relson Gracie is widely known to be the top self-defense instructor in the world of the most effective and practical martial art, Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
