I am often asked why we commit so much time to Jiu Jitsu training and when you think about it there is a sensible answer - There are just so many different elements to Jiu Jitsu Training that need to be worked on.
I’m not referring to the Instructors commitment to students - both adults and children but all the different areas of Jiu Jitsu Training.
- Technical Skills (Throws, Striking, Blocking, Ground Defense, Hold-Downs, Escapes etc)
- Conditioning (Many separate areas here too - Speed, Strength, Power, Stamina etc)
- Breakfalls
- Sparring
- Grappling
- Flexibility
- Balance
- Mindset
The techniques are usually simple to learn but takes time and focus to understand them more thoroughly, to understand the body, the way it moves, the way it reacts, how to gain advantage from leverage, momentum and the anatomy.
Continued practice certainly helps you to become more effective, helping you realise the many options available for you at a given time. You also find it more comfortable to flow from one technique to anothe, whether you are flowing from distracting strikes, to take-downs and hold-downs or moving from one technique to another because the opposition countered the first.
As you can see there are many different areas of Jiu Jitsu Training mentioned above and these are just the main categories. People come to us for a multitude of reasons and each one’s level of seriousness and commitment is totally unique and that is totally fine. Whatever an individuals purpose of Jiu Jitsu is totally relative to them and we encourage them in that direction.
This wide scope is what keeps Jiu Jitsu Training really interesting!
