If you are looking to get in to a sport in the Montebello area then you should try out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

It doesn’t matter if you have no experience with any sort of martial art or grappling sport, we will help you reach your goals no matter what they might be. At a competition level, this martial art can rival most sports in terms of intense exercise and training.

Coming in to Jiu Jitsu, some of the common goals that people come to us for help with are self-defense, weight loss, fitness, and competition.

We have helped countless people with goals similar to these if not exactly that. Competitions for Jiu Jitsu are an individual event, even though when you join a program you join a team. During a competition it is you against the opponent, with your coach on the sideline helping you out. It is very similar to a wrestling type of competition.

If you are looking for a program or sport to help you lose weight or get to a higher fitness level then this is a good option as well.

During training, to some degree, it is up to on how hard you push yourself. In some cases it may be a good idea to push yourself gradually harder and harder each training session. If you are trying to lose weight and are coming in after a time of inactivity then you may want to take it slow at first then build up on that. Throughout this journey the coaches will always be there for help and motivation to get you to the next level.

The best benefit or goal that you could take away from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the self-defense. There is absolutely no reason that you would not learn self-defense in these classes because there is always technique being learned. In a street fight scenario, a lot of the time fights get taken to the ground and while that may hurt depending on who brought whom down, you will be able to be dominant from this position. This could mean the difference between life and death in extreme circumstances but no matter what every self-defense situation in the street should be treated as such and with the technique you learn in class you will be able to defend yourself.

If this is something you may have considered but have not got around to it then consider Selva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Montebello. The instructors there will help come up with plans so that you can meet your goals. They even have a free trial available that you can take advantage of so you can see what we are all about.
