Bjj is a skill that will teach you many aspects of self defense, but in my opinion, it is the non-jiujitsu and fighting related benefits that are the most beneficial. This includes things such as mental fortitude, increased problem solving skills, and hardening that never say die attitude.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu means more to me than words can describe. It has taught me how to remain composed under pressure and to push through adversity. I hope to one day give back to Jiu Jitsu what it has given to me.
