So what is the appeal, and what are the benefits of training BJJ?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a journey of self-discovery

BJJ is more than just a method to physically conquer an opponent. Many practitioners of BJJ gain a newfound confidence in their ability to not only physically challenge themselves, but mentally challenge themselves as well to break their own perceived limitations.

According to Sanjan, a student who trains BJJ at Legends MMA in Melbourne CBD: “Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been a life changing experience for me. I am constantly being challenged whilst I am training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and this has given me the skillset to push past any obstacles.”

BJJ takes the practitioner out of their head and into the physical world, where they are actively engaged and pushed beyond their comfort zone.

“Every class is challenging and there is always something new to learn or develop my skills further,” says Patrina, a BJJ student at Legends. “The support I receive from the instructors and teammates encourages me to want to be better than I was the day before.”

With the physical aspect of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu comes fitness

BJJ is an activity where you are constantly grappling with another person to catch them in one of your submission moves…while resisting their attempts to do the same! Training consistently will strengthen your body to handle the demands of the activity.

Unlike many other martial arts styles, BJJ heavily emphasises live, unrehearsed training. Every BJJ class includes a “rolling” session where the student will have a chance to implement what they have learned against other members. As the student trains more and more, the moves become muscle memory, which the practitioner can perform intuitively.

Zareena, a brand developer who practices BJJ at Legends MMA in Melbourne CBD says, “Every time I learn a new move or make mistakes, I get really motivated to conquer my mistakes and improve.”

BJJ also tends to fit well with smaller people, as it gives them the ability to challenge stronger and bigger people. Because striking is not a component of BJJ, students don’t need to worry about incurring injuries from heavy blows. This gives people a sense of security knowing that no matter their body type, they can prove to be effective in training BJJ.

One of the major factors that keeps people training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the community which has your back

BJJ at Legends MMA is taught in a relaxed rather than rigid environment where everyone is made to feel welcome.

As Andrew, from Legends describes it: “It’s very intimidating to start anything up, but from day one; I felt relaxed and comfortable. If I was to sum up Legends in three words it would be: welcoming, supportive and fun.”

“At Legends there’s a perfect balance of fun and discipline,” says Zareena. “All the people I have trained with share the same great attitude, we all start and finish with a smile. Also, the music is really good!”

Students train with all members of the gym, to ensure they’re used to rolling with different people. As a result, everyone has the chance to meet each other and practice with each other. Everyone becomes crucial to each other’s growth and development as a martial artist. BJJ is about community as well as the individual journey.

At a quick glance, it may be hard to tell that BJJ is about combat sports. BJJ is less about brawling and more like a game of human chess; each person competing for the dominant position and looking to finish with a check-mate. The check-mate is the submission where the opponent can go no further and is in a position where they have to tap out.

This more strategical aspect of BJJ may be one of the reasons it appeals to people of all backgrounds. Legends MMA has female and male members who are engineers, students, bankers, business owners, and many more. In fact, this is the case with BJJ gyms all over the world.

One of BJJ’s most distinguishing benefits is its effectiveness in self-defence. BJJ approaches combat sports from a scientific point of view, having the student practice only what works, and not practice what doesn’t. The emphasis on live training assures that the practitioner will have real world experience knowing their capabilities and how they handle grappling an opponent.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu may seem intimidating to try at first, but you will quickly feel welcome, and the benefits to you are unlimited.

Just do it. You won’t regret it.

MMA incorporates many martial arts such as Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; combining them into a single system for maximum effectiveness. Along with the martial arts aspect, MMA also emphasises physical fitness and a non-linear approach to training. There are no belts in MMA, rather a progress which is unique to every student.

Today, people from all backgrounds, genders, and ages participate in MMA; not in an octagon to become aspiring fighters, but in a safe and friendly local gym for fitness purposes. Legends MMA in Melbourne CBD has female and male members who are engineers, students, bankers, business owners, and many more. So the question is, why are so many everyday people taking up MMA today?

This is largely due to the undeniable benefits that people gain from taking up MMA training. People training MMA will discover numerous benefits for themselves which include physical fitness, being in a positive environment, learning self-defense, and confidence.

What people will notice right way when they join an MMA gym is the supportive environment it promotes

Isha, a swimming instructor and member of Legends MMA, says her experience at Legends helped her overcome her depression and anxiety as she got to be part of a supportive environment.

Additionally, Cindy, a banking & financial analyst who trains at Legends described:
“They really keep you mentally sharp. Let’s just say this is not the place to just go through the motions. They whole heartedly foster your individual growth, they will guide you but ultimately it’s on you to be the driver of your growth & development. It’s really great when your coaches see the effort you’re putting into yourself.”

Training MMA typically means you will be in close proximity with your coaches and fellow students, all of whom will play an integral part in supporting your journey in bettering your health, fitness and overall lifestyle.

The majority of people taking up MMA now are doing so for fitness purposes and for the mental aspect

When many people think of MMA, they think it’s all about fighting and defeating another opponent. However, this only applies to the minority of people who wish to compete. The majority of people taking up MMA now are doing so for fitness purposes and for the mental aspect – MMA is predominately about challenging yourself, not someone else. Through MMA training, you overcome your fears, expectations, and limitations.

Cindy keeps training MMA as she says personal growth is her greatest motivation.

“Personal growth is really important to me which is my main motivation,” she says. “There’s always ups and down in my training. The trick is to not give into the negative feelings and I just park those thoughts and train away and I’m always so thrilled for persevering and pushing myself.”

As a sport that has a bit of everything and variety in each workout, regular training of MMA will keep a person fit and healthy

Students can train with heavy bags for cardio work, circuit training combining weights, calisthenics, and bag-training, and even simulated drills to test their skills in real time. But whatever methods one uses to train, it always provides a phenomenal workout.

One of the most immediately obvious reasons people take up MMA is that it is a complete form of self-defense

For many people, being able to defend their self instills a strong feeling of confidence.

“Martial Arts has definitely made me more confident in all aspects of my life…which is exactly why I started in the first place,” says Dan, a carpenter who has been training at Legends MMA in Melbourne CBD for over a year. “There’s a certain confidence that comes from anything that teaches you a practical skill for self-defense, gets you fitter and introduces you to heaps of new people.”

Learning self-defense does not make a person violent. In fact, it does the opposite; it gives people the confidence to not need to be aggressive. People that learn MMA know that they can be confident in their daily life, but know they still have a capability to defend themselves if they ever actually needed to.

MMA does not rely on theory or rehearsed movements. Rather students train in a safe environment, and will get to see for themselves how the training has benefited them.

What should people know if they’re interested in taking up martial arts?

“When you start, don’t be so focused with making progress right away,” says Cindy. “Over time if you stick with it, you’ll start to appreciate the journey.”

For such a physical activity, it would almost make sense if this sport drew the popularity of a small, niche market. However, people from all walks of life are becoming interested in Muay Thai – and in particular, people from the corporate world.

But why would corporate workers be interested in Muay Thai, and how would they benefit?

Muay Thai is a highly effective method for people to improve their lives in all aspects – including in their careers

Studies have been showing for years how physical activity positively affects people in all areas of their life. As blood circulation to the brain is improved, people are mentally sharper, more energised, and more confident. It also makes for a healthier body, able to handle various demands of life. In the corporate world, for a person to balance long working hours with simultaneously handling many tasks at once, it helps to make sure you’re at your optimal best. “Martial arts really keeps me mentally sharp,” says Cindy, a banking and financial analyst.

Another reason for taking up Muay Thai is because of the personal growth it fosters

This personal growth gives a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Vanessa, another member of Legends MMA in Melbourne CBD trains martial arts as a way of personal growth. She claims learning martial arts helped her get out of her shell and started her on a personal journey. “In Martial Arts everyone has their own style and that nobody you train with is the same – and through this I learnt the importance of being myself,”

One of the greatest gifts people receive from martial arts is not just knowing how to fight, but it’s the feeling of watching themselves grow and evolve as people. That’s the thing that draws many people to martial arts – being able to see themselves overcome a challenge. As Cindy says, “Personal growth is really important to me which is my main motivation. There’s always ups and down in my training. I sometimes give into the negative feelings and sometimes I just park those thoughts and train away and I’m always so elated for persevering and pushing myself.”

Muay Thai brings balance to one’s hectic life

The self-improvement that Muay Thai offers is appealing to people from all walks of life. In the case of corporate workers, Muay Thai brings balance to one’s hectic work life with an intense physical activity like nothing else out there. Vanessa says her motivation for learning Muay Thai is, “always wanting to better myself – my gains in cardio, strength, and technique have been go-ing through the roof.”

With the popularity of the UFC, Muay Thai has gained mainstream popularity which has made many people want to try martial arts, creating a lot of opportunity for gyms like Legends MMA in the Melbourne CBD to offer the best experience to their members. Many corporate workers are finding their decision to make Muay Thai into a serious passion of theirs was a gradual one, start-ing out with them just trying out a class.

“I would come into the gym and watch my friend train and one day decided to give it a go myself and I became hooked,” says Vanessa. “I just wish I started earlier!”

Despite their seeming difference on the surface, Muay Thai has a lot to offer people in the corpo-rate world. Because at the end of the whether you’re a banker or a UFC fighter, you’re still a hu-man being. Muay Thai, and martial arts in general, is meant to benefit anyone who wishes to practice it.

Yet, despite being illegal many countries in the past, it’s one of the most popular sports in the world today.

Millions of regular, working people are taking up MMA training as a recreational activity – whether for exercise, a personal challenge, or a way to connect with similar people.

Even if you have no desire to fight inside a cage, training MMA will change your life for the better. Here are several benefits you will gain from learning MMA.

“It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”

-Chinese proverb.

MMA is built on the most effective techniques from various martial arts. There’s no room for showy moves with style but no substance. Why is the leg kick and rear-naked choke used so often? That’s because well… They work.

But the true power in this knowledge is not that you can go around beating people up. True martial artists know better than anyone how martial arts can destroy an opponent’s body, and don’t treat that power lightly. Being able to defend yourself means you no longer need to fear being preyed upon in a back-alley. You no longer see yourself as a potential victim. For most people, you will rarely, if ever, need to defend yourself from a physical attack. But you will know that if the day ever came, the bad guy’s gonna have a bad day.

People who have held a gun for the first time have said they felt a newfound confidence carrying it. To them, holding such a devastating weapon was like wielding a new power.

When you train MMA, you aren’t caring a weapon. Your body is literally the weapon. You are carrying the power of this weapon all the time.

When you trust your own ability to handle a physical confrontation, you’ll notice other aspects of your personality change too. You’ll become more assertive, you’ll be more comfortable with conflict, and you’ll feel in control of your own life.

MMA is intensely physical, and the physical stakes are high. Even if you spar with an opponent in a controlled environment, you’re putting yourself in the imminent threat of physical harm. Your body, sensing the danger, activates the sympathetic nervous system – also known as the fight or flight response system. This is the same stress response you feel when worrying about your job, finance, or school.

MMA training teaches you to control this stress response. When fighting a person is no longer scary to you, it will be hard to get worked up about something which isn’t trying to punch you or choke you out that moment.

Doctors say sitting is the new smoking. Modern life has made us so comfortable that our bodies are rarely stimulated. We sit in our cars, drive to a workplace where we sit most of the day, only to sit on our cars again until we get home – where we relax by watching some TV… More sitting!

Our bodies were made to be in motion. When our bodies are moving, blood circulation improves, toxins are released through our pores, and the stress hormone, cortisol, which ages and deteriorates our bodies is eliminated.

MMA is unique in that it encompasses all aspects of exercise. From cardio-aerobics, to strength training and even elements of yoga, it is an intensely physical sport which forces your body to adapt and become stronger. See if you don’t feel a new vitality and abundance of energy from your regular MMA sessions!

We live in an age of constant distractions. The easy accessibility of social media and internet takes our attention away from present moment, and has us wasting our mental energy on trivial matters. It’s become normalized to check our smartphones ever few minutes.

When you’re hitting the heavy bag, doing padwork, or sparring with a partner, you only have time to focus on what you’re doing then and there. When you do this several times a week, you’ll notice something new… You can focus on bettering our self without constant distractions.

To add to that, exercise improves the blood circulation to your brain, while lowering blood pressure, and increasing serotonin (the happy hormone). All this gives you the ability to perform well in other aspects of your life, whether it’s pursuing your dream career or acing your exams. MMA will be the key to getting everything you want out of life.

This last part seems contradictory because at a first glance, isn’t MMA about hurting other people? Well not necessarily.

Martial arts teaches that violence is a last resort. Martial arts is like fire: beautiful, but incredibly destructive if wielded improperly. When you release how powerful you are, your newfound confidence shows you have nothing to prove. You know you’re powerful you don’t need to impose this on others.

“To beat someone up is easy, but to love someone is hard.”

-Jet Li

MMA more than anything else, is about self-mastery. Mastery over your body, mastery over your mind, and mastery over your spirit. A true martial artist doesn’t allow their spirit to be swayed by petty issues. He or she is above that. Through your training you realize your only true opponent is yourself.

BJJ is considered a necessity for MMA fighters today. It doesn’t matter how good your standup striking is, those techniques will only work if you’re standing – a factor which BJJ techniques are meant to remove. Boxing draws power from the legs, but even Iron Mike doesn’t have that power on his back.

So why is a relatively new martial art such as BJJ so effective? These reasons will shed some light on the fact.

Martial arts techniques are often divided into two categories: Hard and Soft. Hard techniques are direct – the practicer uses linear force to destroy a target or block an attack. Examples of hard martial arts include Taekwondo, Karate, and Muay Thai.
Soft techniques (which are not really soft), use circular motions which often deflect the opponent’s attacks, use their force against them, or manipulate their joints. Examples include Judo, Aikido, and Ju-Jitsu.

BJJ is considered a Soft martial art. Arms can be bend at uncomfortable angles, necks can be squeezed to choke the opponent unconscious, and the opponent cannot strike if the BJJ fighter is wrapped around them like a boa constrictor. These don’t require force but rather as Will Turner said: “The right leverage, and the proper application of strength.” ;-)
Soft techniques are meant to work by taking advantage of the laws of physics, rather than brute force. This is why BJJ can be unassuming, yet incredibly deadly.

Many martial arts claim the effectiveness of certain techniques while never providing proof. Untested theories churn in academies while never being tested. Neither validation nor invalidation occurs. Only blind obedience to a teacher by the students ensures the survival of these techniques. As a result, some very whacky theories have been able to take form (No-Touch Knockout, for example).
It’s no accident that BJJ rose to prominence during a time where martial arts were pitted against each other. The UFC provided a testing ground to show which styles were truly effective, and which were exaggerated. There was no room for denial – the better style won. For the next few decades BJJ would become essential in the MMA scene. Anyone who steps into the cage must have a degree of skill in BJJ techniques, or they will lose to someone who does.

From the first BJJ class a student takes, they will spar. Very quickly the student will gain real world experience on what works, and what doesn’t. A technique performed properly will prompt a tap. If your opponent isn’t tapping, the technique is either not properly applied, or your opponent simply enjoys suffering.

BJJ is one of the best examples of aliveness in martial arts. Aliveness means the use of instinct and improvisation rather than scripted movements.

In combat, forms are rarely perfect and you do not have the time to remembers sequences. Anything which isn’t intuitive instantly becomes useless. The fighter is used to the realism of combat and is comfortable in the moment. A skilled BJJ practitioner is essentially flowing on the mat.

BJJ emphasizes aliveness more than almost any other martial art. Progression in the art is directly linked to the removal of psychophysiological barriers to technique. Skill isn’t based on the number of techniques the practitioner knows, but how well they’re able to execute them.

“I don’t fear the man who knows 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who’s practiced a kick 10,000 times.”
-Bruce Lee

“If size mattered, then the elephant would be king of the jungle.”
-Rickson Gracie

Three seconds…That’s how long it takes for a person to lose consciousness when the blood is cut off from their brain.
It doesn’t matter if the opponent is 5’5” or 6’5”. Whether they are 100 lbs or 200 lbs. Muscles don’t work when there is no blood to the brain.
The rear-naked choke is one of the most effective techniques in combat sports. Performed correctly, the opponent (or victim) is helpless. Even dirty tactics would only prompt the fighter to squeeze the neck harder. The results can be anything from unconsciousness, to even death.

BJJ is in many ways the great equalizer for smaller people. Student learn that the human body mostly shares the same weak-points. Muscular strength is less effective than leverage using entire body coordination. Using hips, grip, and legs correctly, anyone’s arm can be broken backwards.

This is not to say size is never a factor. In BJJ, there is a concept called “Boyd’s Belt,” essentially saying 20 lbs variation between opponents is the difference of a belt level. However, this only true when students are otherwise roughly equal in level of skill. With the proper level of skill, size starts becoming less of a factor.

Most traditional martial arts typically work like this: The founder spends many years finding which techniques work for them. These techniques are passed down to students, who follow the martial art as their founder intended. Truthfully, this was very effective in a time when martial arts was more esoteric, and there were less avenues for styles to be pitted against each other and tested. However in today’s world, traditional attitudes only hold martial arts back.
BJJ is unique in the aspect that it is constantly evolving, and new techniques are being added to its repertoire. Even in the last decade, new skills, techniques, and training methods have been added to BJJ based on what’s been shown to work. This is due to the fact BJJ practitioners have been active in the combat sports scene, where everything that works flourishes, and everything that doesn’t dies off.

“Absorb what is useful, disregard what is useless.”
-Bruce Lee

BJJ’s popularity came the result of real-world proof. But more importantly, the martial arts world has benefitted tremendously from BJJ experts willing to demonstrate its effectiveness. THere’s no need to have faith, BJJ will make you a convert.

In a very physical, and very combative sport like BJJ, you feel a sense of connection with your true nature. BJJ gets you back in touch with your body, and rekindles the sense of adventure that adulthood tends to filter out.

BJJ is essentially the art of conquering another person’s body with your own. The risk of injury is high, and so is the initial learning curb. Yet, it’s one of the most popularly growing activities for people of all backgrounds today. What reasons would a person possibly have to train BJJ?

“Emptiness is the starting point. In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is useful? Because it is empty.” -Bruce Lee

There’s a saying in BJJ: “Check your ego at the door.”

Because if you don’t, get used to your ego being broken.

BJJ cuts right to the chase and shows you that arrogance is really weakness.

During your first class, you will likely have no idea what you are doing. Even if you have a background in wrestling or another martial art, don’t expect it to help you in BJJ.

In society, we’re so used to worshipping those with exceptional skill in a certain field that we forget one thing…

It takes an extraordinary amount of effort to be good at something. Attaining a new level of proficiency requires shedding the ego – sacrificing our current self for the self we can become.

During your first several classes of BJJ, you will eat lots of humble pie. You will be submitted over and over again. But there will be one unforgettable moment where everything clicks. Suddenly, all the drills will be stored into your muscle memory. Positions and techniques will be subconscious. You will see the patterns you couldn’t see before.

This principle can be applied to anything else in life. You will see that learning anything is possible if you remove your expectations, and are humble enough to welcome truths.

“Jiu Jitsu is perfect. It’s humans who make errors.”

-Rickson Gracie

BJJ is one of the most practical forms of self-defence. Nothing in BJJ is left to theory. Everything is practiced, and everything is either proven or disproven.

The problem with many other forms of self-defence is they rely on complex, scripted movements. In a real fight, you don’t have time to think about performing a sequence of moves. Once your fight-or-flight system takes over, you resort to your instincts. Your body will only do what it’s been trained to do.

In BJJ, you will spar every class. Sparring not only gives you the chance to test your techniques, but it puts you in the mental state of what a fight feels like. As you put yourself in the feeling of a fight, you learn to conquer your body’s adrenal response. You can be precise rather than chaotic.

BJJ also shows that no matter how big or strong a person is, the human body is still vulnerable. Joints can be manipulated in a way where they are immobilized or even damaged. Anyone’s jugulars can be squeezed to cause unconsciousness. BJJ is about exploiting the opponent’s vulnerabilities.

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”

-Confucius

The only way to get good at BJJ is by showing up to class, drilling techniques, and sparring with opponents. Even if that’s all you do, you will notice yourself getting progressively better at it.

The mind is a funny thing. It will sometimes try and trick you into thinking what you do now won’t pay off in the future. It will keep you from thirty minutes of exercising, while directing you to five hours of Netflix or social media. It might even keep you awake the minute you try to get your much needed sleep!

But the mind has its strongpoints. It’s a slave to habits. It will make you do the same things over and over again even when you forget why!

This principle tends to work very well in BJJ. Even if you get discouraged at first, your persistence will pay off. As a result, you will condition yourself to stick with something beneficial, even if it’s as challenging as BJJ!

Discipline is a superpower. It gets us through the uncomfortable process of change for the belief it will benefit later on. BJJ will change your life by instilling this quality.

“If you want to be a lion, you must train with lions.”

-Carlson Gracie

BJJ in not performed in isolation. It is absolutely necessary that practice with other people. Sparring requires you to be in close contact with a variety of people with whom the only shared commonality is your love of BJJ. Technique grows through shared experience with other BJJ practitioners. Ideas are exchanged not always with words, but through the art of combat.

Your instructors will also be especially attentive to your technique. They will watch as you evolve, and be there to support your growth every step of the way. BJJ is a social affair!

“Not less that two hours a day should be devoted to exercise.”

-Thomas Jefferson

You don’t need to be a particularly big or strong person to do BJJ. In fact, the main concept behind BJJ’s creation was that a smaller person can overpower a larger person. BJJ activates muscles in coordination that otherwise lay dormant in most people. As BJJ class consists entirely of resisting another person’s body weight, you will notice yourself get physically stronger. Your endurance will also improve considerably, as BJJ is stamina intensive. In fact, professional BJJ competitors are exceptional strong in this area. The Diaz brothers, who are known for their speciality in BJJ, are also regular marathoners!

You don’t need to run marathons to train BJJ. A BJJ class itself is like an hour of intense cardio.

BJJ also teaches you to conserve your energy. Every new student has been told to breathe, and stay relaxed. When the body is relaxed, it isn’t expending unnecessary energy, it’s doing only what it needs to.

“This game is ninety-percent mental and the other half physical.”

-Yogi Berra

BJJ is said to be human chess. With every move, there is a counter-move from your opponent. With every new set of moves, there is a multitude of possible moves depending on your position, and the position of your opponent. With every new belt, you gain a new arsenal of moves, and the possibilities increase exponentially.

What you many people don’t realize about BJJ is that you’re expanding your brain’s capacity for knowledge. Most of our mental capacity is taken up by stressors of modern life, and we’re never fully aware of our ability to solve problems.

When you’re on the mat, the competition is mental as well as physical. It takes memory to learn the techniques, and analytical ability to find your opponent’s weaknesses to apply the techniques.

“Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.”

-Miyamoto Musashi

Joe Rogan has said his BJJ classmates are some of the nicest guys he knows. They are usually the last to get worked up over petty issues that most people do. Why? Because BJJ allows for a release of stress.

The build up of stress leads to the build up of negative emotions. These negative emotions aren’t just in the mind, the get stored in the body’s nervous system. Even when we’re not able to articulate it, the body remembers the stress, and we become anxious for reasons we don’t always understand.

Combat sports such as BJJ allow for a release of the cortisol levels stored in our body, which makes us happier and calmer. What’s unique about BJJ is it’s combative nature, ensuring we tap unto the deepest parts of our nervous system and are able to fully release the built up stressors. Fight to make yourself happy!
