Anyone interested in self-defense should have at least some fundamentals in every area of fighting. The truth is that most people simply are not conditioned to the stresses of physical violence or even the mere threat of physical violence. Many people don’t realize the mental fight that accompanies the physical fight in a self-defense situation. The result is a panicked mess of limbs with minimal to no guiding intelligence in the attack or defense.
Brazilian Jiujitsu gives its practitioners a sense of body and situational awareness while enabling them to defend themselves against attackers of all shapes and sizes. It is said that a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can defend themselves against any untrained assailant on the streets. It is very uncommon to encounter a trained assailant for they have better, more productive things to do with their lives.
Those with a Brazilian blue belt, the second belt rank after white, have the ability to defend themselves against any non-martial artist on the street. It usually takes about 1.5 years of training for this.
The live training in every Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class at Global Jiu-jitsu Naples will build muscle memory for those techniques as well as having you practice and use them every class so you will be confident when the situation arises.
Brazilian Jiu jitsu helps improve self-confidence by learning ways to control a situation without having to hurt the other person.
At Global Jiu-jitsu, students are trained against a resisting training partner or classmate to test out their skills with every class. Training in BJJ will teach students on how to best defend themselves in any situation.
Bully Proof : most bullies lack self confidence hence needing to bring someone down to below their level.
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu teaches you walk with confidence and not look like a target.
When those self-defense skills are needed however, the bully doesn’t have to be hurt to be neutralized. It is less likely or even impossible to get in trouble when you are just holding down an assailant be it in a street altercation or a school bullying situation.
With the ever increasing school bullying issues, a number of schools have adopted the "suspend both parties rule" — the bully and the victim. This may be a misguided point of view since if a person being bullied fights back, then they too may be suspended along with the attacker.
Brazilian Jiujitsu is a martial arts that trains you to control your aggressor. For instance, getting out from a badly pinned or bottom position which is practiced at every class and then reversing the position where the victim now is on top and in control via a top mount (sitting on top of opponent position).
Live training is done at every Global Jiujitsu class in Naples where 50% to 75% of strength are used by the students to try out and practice techniques. So students will feel confident when the comes time to use them.
Brazilian Jiujitsu is based on the theory that a weaker, smaller person can subdue a stronger person by using leverage and physics.

Use of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in healthcare setting
Too many sad news of Emergency medical technicians, nurses and doctors being the victim of assault while trying to do their job. It may be an irate family member, friend or the patient themselves.
Healthcare workers should never have to fear for their lives when working to save patients. I know first hand as a young resident doctor and now an attending physician, I have witnessed aggressive patients especially in the emergency department setting. The reality is that a hospital or any health care environment has the potential for violence. Security staff may not always be close by to help in these cases.
Workers who have had adequate self-defense training are attacked less often and they incur less serious injuries when they are attacked. If you can confidently take care of yourself, then you can confidently take care of your patients.
