The practice of martial arts requires discipline which transcends the physical into the more abstract mental and emotional realm, affecting our very nature.
Respect, Honor and Humility
Respect for the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as well as respect for your trainer, your opponent and yourself is taught in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. More than perfecting the physical moves that will propel you through skill and belt levels and to win when you spar or in competition, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instills desirable qualities such as self-discipline, self-awareness, courage, emotional stability, mental fortitude and perseverance. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training cultivates the acceptance of others and humility, and enables us to master the physical art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as to face life’s challenges as they are tossed at us. Additionally, the rules of conduct within Brazilian Jiu Jitsu compel us to become constructive, focusing on healthy goals and to demonstrate poise under pressure…all the while being courteous and polite.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a popular, enjoyable sport that will not only help you develop amazing physical benefits, but it is about cultivating integrity and a sense of honor that will serve you and others well in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and throughout your life. A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training center, such as Ralph Gracie Mission Viejo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy, is a supportive environment which can build your physical well-being as well as your character.
Health
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu also teaches you the discipline of respecting your body, improving your physical well-being through regular exercise, proper nutrition and safe practices. Think of it this way, the better shape you are in, the better your performance will be both in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition and throughout life.
Dedication
Diligence, determination and tenacity are also common themes of discipline within the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Through hard work and dedication, you can rise through various levels of skill and master this sport.
The same is true of life. The more effort you pour into your life goals and the more good you cast out into the world, the more positive life becomes, often bestowing gifts of valuable lessons learned, successful endeavors and increased happiness.
Confidence
Whether it is in life or during your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training, when you persistently work toward a challenging goal and ultimately achieve it, you experience a feeling of well-deserved exuberance and the confidence that comes with braving and conquering your objective.
Patience
Throughout Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training, there are various levels of skills that take a high level of dedication and hard work over time to master. Throughout the practice of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and life, patience is a virtue that will serve you and others well.
