Ah 2023, here we are! Have any NY resolutions? Want to get fit or lose a few kgs but don’t like the idea of an impersonal gym? You may even have had a gym membership at a large impersonal gym which you visited seldom. You would occasionally go there for cardio or lift weights just to reduce your guilt from paying – locked-in – membership fees.
Replace your guilt of an unused impersonal gym membership, with real results. Enter BJJ. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that mainly focuses on takedowns, grappling and ground fighting. BJJ techniques consist of controlling an opponent with leverage and movement to create an opening for a submission; a joint lock or a choke.
Oh… and yes, it is also one of the best ways to lose weight because it involves ample amount of cardio. Besides weight loss, this martial art has numerous health benefits like stress management, focus and more. BJJ training will help you lose weight and get fit while having fun at the same time!
