Sign up for our adult jiu- jitsu program with us today. Performance Jiu-Jitsu has self-defense classes for all age groups and experiences.

Join Our Adult Jiu-Jitsu Program

Are you looking for a way to get more physical activity in your life? Everyone is so busy and captured up in their work and personal lives, that it can be hard to fit everything in. It is very important for you to make time to get the important things done. That includes physical activity. 

Doing workouts alone can be hard to know exactly what to do, or it can even be lonely. Joining an adult BJJ class can be fun and keep you interested. It also gives you a group of people working towards the same goal as you and cheering you on to meet your goals. When you enjoy the training you are doing, it is less work and more enjoyable for you.

Manage Stress and Learn Self-Defense Skills

Martial arts can be used to release whatever tension, stress, and anxiety you may be feeling. You’ll learn self-defense and submission techniques. All of the physical activity and mental capacity it takes to perform this sport can be a great avenue for relief. Many people take adult martial arts classes to help manage depression and learn self-defense skills. The physical activity that is done is releasing endorphins, helping you rid the negative energy.

Can Jiu-Jitsu Help You Lose Weight?

Have you been trying to lose weight without success? It is an arduous task to do, and it takes a lot of determination and a change of mindset. The easy part is deciding you want to lose weight and what you need to do; the hard part is doing it. 

It can help when you find a sport or activity that you are interested in and love doing. If you have never tried jiu-jitsu or any other form of martial arts, it can be just what you are missing. The difference between doing this and going to a gym is that you have an instructor helping you train. It won’t seem like a hated task of trying to lose weight when you are enjoying yourself. 

Martial Arts Can Improve Heart Health

Heart health is very important for anyone, especially those who have already had a diagnosis. There is a lot of cardiovascular activity involved in martial arts training. To perform all of the skills and techniques that are required during training is intense. 

The next time you visit the doctor, they will hopefully tell you that improvements are being made to your blood pressure and test levels. There are so many other benefits you can see with your physical, mental, and overall health, such as:

  • Better Reflexes
  • Positive Mood
  • Build Strength
  • Learn Self-Defense Skills
  • A Better Sense Of Confidence
  • More Social Interactions
  • Increase Coordination
  • Improve Flexibility
  • Improve Concentration
  • And So Much More

I tried a few classes at another bjj school in NJ, but after one class here I knew it was the one for me. The instructors are great and so is the usual crowd. Everyone is friendly, patient, and understanding. It felt like I found a new little community. On top of that I come out of every class feeing like I learned something new. Truly a great place with the best people. 10/10 would recommend.

Have been there three months so far. The head instructor Lou is extremely professional and welcoming. The atmosphere is very supportive, members all strive to help each other learn and grow as Jiu Jitsu martial artists. I originally joined to get into shape and lose some weight. In doing so, I have found BJJ to be both physically AND mentally interesting, fortifying, strengthening, as it tests your capacity to learn and grow in multiple dimensions. Would recommend to anyone.
