One of the first things you will learn about BJJ is that the biggest and strongest do not necessarily dominate. Differently sized people can use different strategies to take advantage of their strengths. This is an important lesson to never underestimate your own abilities as well as not to underestimate anybody.
Over time, you will have the humility to embrace losses and see them as valuable learning experiences. Humility is an important lesson gained from the practice of Jiu-jitsu, having heart that is open to learn. Patience is another life lesson from jiu jitsu. Many beginners may think that ranking up is easy and quick. However, it is important to set your expectations right. Patience is key to BJJ progression.
Respect is one of the most important things you learn in jiu-jitsu. Being successful in BJJ involves having respect for your professors, training partners, and opponents.
Although Jiu-jitsu is largely an individual martial art, having a strong team is very important. The bonds you build will make you stronger and more focused on your jiu-jitsu journey. With BJJ, you will learn the importance of loyalty which you can apply to every endeavor in life. An additional form of loyalty is staying true to yourself. With the right program, you can become the best version of yourself.
Jiu jitsu teaches you about perseverance since training is challenging both physically and mentally. With BJJ, you learn to push through the hard days and learn that hard work pays off.
BJJ can be an excellent way to challenge your mind and body, get in shape, and learn useful self-defense techniques.
