You’ll always be challenged
There’s a deceiving amount to learn in BJJ, starting with basic positions, sweeps, transitions and submissions. There’s a huge amount of techniques you could potentially learn, and because no one opponent is exactly the same, you’ll be forced to constantly adapt which of these techniques you use. That’s just the technique portion. Then there are the subtle concepts embedded within jiu jitsu like balance, leverage, framing and more. It’s unlikely you’ll run out of new things to learn in BJJ.
Weight-Loss and Getting in Shape
One of the first differences you will notice after you begin training is how easy it is to lose weight and keep it off. Jiu jitsu works every muscle in your body so you will notice a difference almost immediately. And the best part is that you will not even notice how hard you are working! One of the most difficult aspects of training for weight-loss is that too easily we focus on how much time we are on the treadmill or how many calories we have burned. But with Brazilian jiu jitsu, your mind is focused on technique and facing off against your partner instead of staring at a blinking screen of information. In fact, many of the top athletes in the sport actually came to jiu jitsu as a way to lose weight and then discovered a deep love for the sport and made a career out of it.
It’s a form of self-defense
Jiu Jitsu teaches you valuable self defense skills, particularly how to restrain opponents, ground survival techniques, and submissions designed to render an opponent unconscious or immobilise their joints.
ABOUT US
Carlson Gracie Team is recognized as one of the best grappling teams in the world. We recently opened in San Antonio in 2019 to change the view of Jiu-Jitsu as a business. To us, it’s not just a business, it’s a lifestyle and every person on the mat is treated with respect. We keep a family-oriented, friendly atmosphere with a close relationship between student and the Professor, who knows each student individually. We are open to beginners, competitors, and hobbyists. We don’t separate classes based on belt color, everyone learns from everyone as it was in the beginning of Jiu Jitsu. Because of this, we are proud to say we are old school and we keep those traditions alive. We have classes every day, Gi and NoGi, come on in and roll with us.
