Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a hot topic in the world of martial arts. If you’ve ever practiced it, you probably understand the hype! BJJ provides athletes with benefits that go far beyond the gym, such as increased physical fitness, weight loss, higher energy, and better productivity. But there’s one life skill that really sets BJJ apart from other forms of martial arts – it’s self-defense training. Self-defense is a skill that every person should have under their belt and, lucky for you, Jiu Jitsu is one of the best types of self-defense that money can buy.

Grappling
While many martial art disciplines incorporate grappling here and there, when it comes to BJJ, grappling is at the core of all of your training. Not familiar with grappling? Here’s what you need to know – instead of utilizing weapons or striking, grappling is all about getting your opponent to concede through physical dominance. The rules and techniques of grappling vary depending on whether one is practicing Gi or No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, as well as whether it’s being done in a sport or self-defense style. When grappling in BJJ, you’ll spend the majority of your time fighting from the ground and will likely utilize many different types of chokes.
Self-Defense
Our biggest pet peeve? When schools work so hard to train amazing martial artists, but forget to teach their students how to apply these skills to real-life situations. At Cephas BJJ, self-defense and martial arts training go hand in hand. The application of self-defense is at the core of every class we teach. While everyone has a different take, we feel that the grappling of BJJ is more realistic than any other form of martial arts. You’re gaining an experience that is way more similar to any altercation you may be confronted with outside of our gym.
Fitness
When you think of working out, you probably think of running on the treadmill or lifting weights at the gym, right? Well, it’s time to expand your perspective. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the best ways to get in shape…and it’s way more fun than anything you’ll find in the gym. Physically, BJJ has been shown to help athletes lose weight, tone their muscles, gain newfound strengths, and sharpen their reflexes. Mentally and emotionally, BJJ boasts benefits in mental health, reduced stress levels, increased self-confidence, and a feeling of empowerment.
