BJJ Versus Other Martial Arts

If you’re looking for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu near you in Naples, Florida or a martial arts school in Naples, Florida, Global BJJ is the place to be. Not only will you learn Jiu jitsu, you’ll also learn self-defense. Jiu jitsu is good for the mats, for competition, as well as for self-defense.

Master Deninho’s style of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu includes self-defense training, women’s anti-rape training, kids anti-bullying training, as well as competition and hobby Jiu jitsu.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu started with the Gracie family in Brazil where they learned from a Japanese judo / Jiu jitsu master as a gift for the Gracie family who were influential in the government in Brazil in helping this young Japanese judo player settle in a foreign country.

Jiu jitsu has evolved significantly from the times of Brazil to where it is in American nowadays. Modern Jiu jitsu involves learning wrestling as well as new techniques that have been developed over even the last few years. Jiu-jitsu is ever-evolving, unlike traditional martial arts. Coming from a background of karate and taekwondo as blackbelt as well as training in kung fu, Jiu jitsu is very dynamic. It’s never boring and you discover new things about yourself in how you move and how you’re able to control a larger opponent with simple techniques.

Jiu jitsu students also require less time to train their techniques to be effective on the streets whereas in karate or taekwondo, you will have to practice for many years as well as body conditioning in order to successfully use the techniques on the street. Jiu jitsu also has the advantage of being able to be practiced at a hundred percent while in the gym against resisting opponents whereas in striking martial arts such as karate, Muay Thai, kung fu, kickboxing, Krav Maga, and taekwondo, you run the risk of injuring your training partner, developing a concussion as well as not being able to practice techniques that mat be too dangerous to be used in the gym without protective equipment.

In Jiu jitsu, all you need is a Jiu jitsu uniform as well as the discipline to step on the mats for the first time. We at Global Jiu-jitsu offer you a free week trial on the mats to see if Jiu jitsu is right for you. Jiu jitsu is not right for everybody but most people that have stepped on the mats and understand the difference of Brazilian Jiu jitsu versus other martial arts understand and accept the art of Jiu-jitsu readily and prepared to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu jitsu.
