Jiu jitsu for fitness and weight loss

A real workout

A class mixes a warm-up, technique practice and live rolling. You're pushing, pulling, bridging and moving your hips the whole time. It builds strength, grip, cardio and flexibility at once.

The part that matters: you keep coming back

Most workouts fail because they're boring. In jiu jitsu your brain is busy solving problems, so the hour flies by. Training partners expect to see you. That's what keeps people going long enough to see results.

Weight loss

Lots of people lose weight after starting BJJ, especially training two or three times a week. Like any exercise, results depend on how often you train and what you eat. If weight loss is your goal, pair consistent classes with better sleep and food.
