How Jiu-Jitsu Can Help You and Save Others From a Fight

Despite what you may think, if you have ever been in a physical fight or witnessed someone getting thrown out, you have probably wondered how jiu-jitsu could help you or even save your life. If you're unsure of how to defend yourself, don't worry. There are many benefits to learning jiu-jitsu. The first benefit is its positive affect on self-defense. It can save lives and protect those around you.

If you can't control your movements, you aren't gaining the necessary strength to defend yourself. Without control, you'll likely get twisted and injured, which can lead to more injuries and pain down the line. Similarly, the leg locks that are so popular in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can cause injury to your knees if they're not properly performed.

Moreover, jiu-jitsu helps you control the larger opponent. While you'll have difficulty overpowering a bigger opponent physically, you can apply pressure on his blood vessels, putting him unconscious. Injuries from joint manipulation and chokes affect everyone, including big and small. By learning the right defenses, you can prevent any unnecessary injury.

The second benefit of jiu-jitsu is its ability to improve your strength and conditioning. While most people don't fight on the street, a BJJ practitioner is likely to be in much better shape than the average person. In addition to developing the strength to defend yourself, he will also be able to control the aggressor and keep him or her on the ground.
