Benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Women and Men
Vitor Shaolin has been sharing the many benefits of BJJ with men and women in the Scotch Plains, NJ area since 2013.
Learn Self-defense
BJJ tactics, strategy, and techniques prepare you to defend yourself by providing you with the skills to overpower larger and stronger opponents without punching or kicking. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most practical and useful self-defense martial art, particularly when a struggle knocks you off your feet.
Have Fun and Get a Great Workout
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an engaging and dynamic martial art and an excellent way for women and men of all ages to get a fantastic cardiovascular and core-strengthening workout. It's also a good form of exercise for former wrestlers and other athletes. Burn fat and improve your strength, flexibility, balance and coordination while having a great time!
Make New Friends
Become part of a supportive community and build a network of new friends while working together with your BJJ classmates to master new skills.
Manage Stress
Concentrating on learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques while burning off pent-up energy is a great way to cope with the stress and anxiety of daily life.
Increase Focus and Self-discipline
The structure of BJJ classes and the concentration required to learn martial arts techniques will help you improve your focus and improve your self-discipline.
Improve Problem-Solving Skills
You'll improve your problem-solving and critical thinking skills by practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu technique and learning to strategize.
Increase Self-confidence
As you learn self-defense, become more fit, improve your critical thinking skills, and make new friends, your self-confidence will grow.
Bond with Your Kids
Learning Jiu-Jitsu as a family is a terrific way to share a common interest with your kids. We often invite VSBJJA students whose children also train at our school to assist in their children's classes.
