Welcome to Team Goblins Martial Arts Academy in Courtenay, BC, Canada! We believe that Jiu Jitsu is an incredibly effective and empowering martial art that can benefit adults in countless ways. Here are just a few of the many ways that Jiu Jitsu can help both men and women:
Physical Benefits:
Jiu Jitsu is a full-body workout that will help you build strength, endurance, and flexibility. It’s a great way to get in shape, lose weight, and improve your overall fitness. Additionally, Jiu Jitsu is a low-impact activity, which means that it is easy on your joints and has a lower chance of injury than even soccer. It keeps you physically and mentally active, which keeps both your body and mind strong. Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that can be practiced well into your later years. Most active sports have an age where you may have to give it up. With BJJ you simply start to adjust your strategy and how you train. As Rickson Gracie said: “Jiu-Jitsu is for life.” Even if you don’t want to compete, being able to have fun whilst doing something you enjoy is one of the most important things in life.
Mental Benefits:
Jiu Jitsu requires intense focus, concentration, and mental toughness. An hour at BJJ can reset your mind. You cannot train BJJ and worry about work. You have to focus on what you are doing then and there. By practicing Jiu Jitsu, you will develop these skills and improve your ability to handle stress, anxiety, and other challenges in your life. Jiu Jitsu is also a great way to boost your confidence, self-esteem, and overall sense of well-being. Along with this you may increase your desire to learn. The desire to learn can sometimes leave us as we get older. With BJJ learning is what you will do in every class, there are many new things to understand and it really fires up this desire once again.
Social Benefits:
Jiu Jitsu is a community-oriented sport that provides a supportive and welcoming environment. You’ll be training alongside like-minded individuals who share your passion for martial arts and personal growth. By joining our academy, you’ll be part of a team that encourages and motivates each other to achieve their goals. Our focus is on helping each other grow as martial artists and people in general. We’re not competing with each other trying to see who is the toughest or the strongest, instead we’re working together to make the whole academy better. Co-operation and fun while learning is the name of the game.
Why else should you train Jiu Jitsu?
Jiu Jitsu is an excellent self-defense system that teaches how to protect yourself in real-world situations. You’ll learn practical techniques that are specifically designed to use leverage and technique to overcome bigger, stronger opponents. You’ll gain the confidence and skills you need to stay safe and secure while learning a really fun sport at the same time.
Jiu Jitsu is a sport that requires discipline, dedication, and hard work. By practicing Jiu Jitsu, you’ll develop a strong work ethic and the mental toughness you need to succeed in all areas of your life. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced martial artist, there’s always room for growth and improvement in Jiu Jitsu.
