Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It's the chess of the martial arts world. Practicing it keeps you fit, but more often than not, in competitions and live sparring practice, it's superior strategy that overcomes physical prowess.
I hated lifting weights and running for my whole life, so it's quite enjoyable to spend four or five hours a week getting a great workout where my mind is constantly being challenged also.
The founder of the art called it "the triumph of intellect over brawn". But you will get fit practicing it...
- coryl 16y agoYou always learn something new about jiu jitsu in a good roll.
- imechura 16y agoJust be careful that you are choosing the right place to train and the correct training partners. In my (bad) experience it is hard to find a BJJ partner who has the same goals as you mentioned above. This I attribute not to the sport but the sudden popularity of UFC. Broken ribs and fingers tend to slow down productivity.
