Auxiliary Benefits

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has obvious benefits. It helps with fitness and teaches you how to protect yourself, but it also offers benefits that may not be obvious on the surface. The biggest of these is camaraderie. If you miss being part of a team, or need to boost your social life as an adult, BJJ is a good way to go. Another is confidence, if you are introverted like me, BJJ is a good way to slowly build your social skills. It sounds weird and maybe somewhat threatening, but being thrust into a group of strangers and having to do a partner activity takes you out of your shell. BJJ has a lot of benefits, some are obvious and some are not, but the best way to see what it can do for you, is to try it for yourself.
