Why JOIN GRACIE BARRA?
1. GB Jiu-Jitsu is a truly exciting way to get fit
Jiu-Jitsu is often compared to a game of human chess. If you don’t like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you’re not alone. Many of our students were tired of going to the gym and found in Jiu-Jitsu a perfect workout because it brings motivation and requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and fat loss. In addition, Jiu-Jitsu improves physical conditioning, cardiovascular and respiratory capacity. You will also learn to defend yourself, as well as increasing your motor coordination and reflexes. It’s a win-win situation.
2. Train the mind
By being a high-intensity exercise, Jiu-Jitsu further promotes the release of hormones such as dopamine, endorphins and serotonin that increase the feeling of well-being, happiness, disposition and self-esteem. It is a natural helper to stress, anxiety and depression, as well as helping with the memory, learning process and sleep.
