THE POPULAR BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU
ITS ORIGINS AND BENEFITS
THINK BULLYING IS JUST PART OF BEING A KID?
The first Brazillian jiujitsu (BJJ) school was opened in the 1980s by a family who thrived off this martial art: the Gracie family. It wasn’t too long afterward that BJJ became renowned throughout the States after Royce Gracie’s first UFC competition in 1993. Ever since, this grappling-based fighting style has taken the nation by storm.
• Bullying was a factor in two-thirds of the 37 school shootings reviewed by the U.S. Secret Service. • At least 20% of high school students say they have seriously considered suicide within the last 12 months. • Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every completed suicide among young people, there are 100 attempts.
In schools with anti-bullying programs, bullying is reduced by 50%.
WHAT IS BJJ? According to Renzo Gracie’s website, BJJ is defined as “a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit.” This martial art form was originally created and modified from the Japanese martial art of judo. Over hundreds of years, as it was passed down from teacher to student, this unique self-defense form evolved. Through the use of grip, position, and superior leverage in a no-rule match, anyone is capable of taking down, controlling, and overcoming their opponent. RISING IN POPULARITY This fighting style can be executed by a person of any age or stature and can be used in any real-fight scenario. BJJ gives a person the skills and knowledge to force another person to the ground and hold them there, which is a useful resource. If a student finds themselves faced with an opponent or attacker, the skills they learn throughout a BJJ class can be applied and adapted to any situation or environment they find themselves in. BENEFITS OF BJJ In addition to learning fighting and defensive skills, BJJ has many other benefits. Students who train in this martial art form can gain self-confidence, improve their ability to focus, keep their body fit and healthy, and build their character. People who train in BJJ will gain a deep understanding of themselves; they can improve and set goals for themselves.
