Brazilian Jiu Jitsu empowering women

Brazilian Jiu jitsu is gaining worldwide popularity among women for self-defense. It is a form of martial art that focuses on self-defense techniques through special holds. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu teaches women to escape from any dangerous situation and helps them to maintain their confidence.

Gracie Barra is the founder of modern Jiu-Jitsu which has originated from Kodokan Judo fundamentals which is a ground fighting technique. It is based on grappling and ground fighting; hence women can fight the opponent whether she is on her feet or on the ground. It promotes the concept that a small and weak person can overpower bigger and stronger opponent by using proper techniques and leverage. Bringing him down on the ground can mitigate the powerful strikes and blows of the opponent. The techniques are based on body mechanism rather than strength, speed and weight used in other martial art forms. There are no criteria for learning this art form. The techniques of Jiu-jitsu can be used effectively by anyone irrespective of any size, weight and strength and fitness level.

Jiu-Jitsu training involves various areas of practice from groundwork, to grappling techniques. A regular training session would include cardiovascular exercising, stretching, breathing and resisting workout. This helps to build up strength, flexibility and endurance in the body. Students also learn falling skills without getting hurt, patience and discipline. Employing the techniques of Jiu jitsu requires working on the timing of the action. It is also a great stress reducer as any training session involves practicing and using very complex techniques, which can tire one’s mind. Being taught with a mindset to never to lose hope in the worst and toughest situation, women get complete training for any situation they may face.

Apart from learning self-defense techniques, it helps women to build up their strength. By undergoing Jiu-Jitsu training, women become physically and mentally strong, relieve the stress from day to day life, do not suffer from insomnia and face less cramps during their menstrual cycle.
