Benefits of

Jiu Jitsu

Self confidence

Improve your self-esteem and boost your sense of confidence with Jiu Jitsu. The art is very effective in building a strong character, self-confidence and discipline that lasts beyond the mats.

Self-defence

Jiu Jitsu is the art of self-defence with an emphasis on technique over strength, perfect for those who are smaller or weaker than their attacker and perfect for real-life situations.

Less stress, more happiness

Jiu Jitsu increases the release of endorphins, which increases your happiness and overall well-being while reducing stress and anxiety. After training, you'll feel energised and motivated to meet the day's challenges.

Body toning

During Jiu Jitsu training, the whole body is stimulated, leading to muscular toning.

Physical strength

Jiu Jitsu helps you increase your cardiovascular capacity significantly. This is because Jiu Jitsu combines ground exercises with aerobic exercises.

Weight Loss

Jiu Jitsu is an excellent exercise that provides the benefits of aerobics, weight training and flexibility. When performed regularly, Jiu Jitsu will help you lose weight, gain muscle and maintain a healthy lifestyle. On average, each class burns about 500 to 1,200 calories!
