Jiu-Jitsu and Weightloss, a Great Combination

Are you envious of the people at the gym working out that come across as if it’s so effortless they’re addicted? Well have I got some news for you, you can be one of them. Brazilian jiu-jitsu for weight loss is said to be addictive, and a workout that results in weight loss. Yes, that’s right; you can be addicted to weight loss.

 

I have learned that if there is one thing that society has in common, it is the issue of weight. Let me be as precise as possible, the issue of weight is never being too skinny, only too heavy. How many times have you heard yourself or someone else say “I look heavy”, “I feel heavy”, “I am heavy”? Now, here is where you disconnect your self from the rest of the whining yet do zilch people in our society. You do something about it, go out and get addicted to weight loss and Brazilian jiu-jitsu can help.

 

If you have ever seen a Samurai warrior movie you already know what jiu-jitsu looks like since that is, after all its origin. It is an ancient martial art which consists of punches, throws, kicks, and weapons. At the same time as grappling and ground fighting, commit to memory that leverage is one of the key techniques in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Practice makes perfect, and in order to be addicted to jiu-jitsu for weight loss you have to know the exact techniques.

 

Here is a modest plan you may want to follow to keep from becoming too addicted, but to ensure you are the right amount addicted. Try starting out with Brazilian jiu-jitsu 3-4 times a week and circuit training 2-3 times. If what you want to say at the end of this goal is “I look skinny”, “I feel fat”, “I am Skinny”, then I would also advocate throwing in running at least 2 times a week to start.

 

Let me be as precise as possible once again, you are not going to get the results you want within 2 weeks, nor without a suitable diet. The devil on your shoulder is going to have to reject laziness, Oreo’s and cupcakes. And the Angel in your head is going to have to say yes to protein. Fish, chicken, steak, vegetables, and baked potatoes should be on the top of your grocery shopping list from now on. For the sweet toothed, rice cakes and peanut butter is your new desert. Jiu-Jitsu alone is not the answer, but part of an overall plan.

 

I said you could be addicted to weight loss, I never said it would be effortless. It takes perseverance and aspiration. Jiu-jitsu for weight loss can not only turn out to be addictive in terms of weight loss, but also in terms of self defense. There is an old jiu-jitsu practice that puts your mind in a tranquil state where personal, emotional, or physical limitations are no longer present. Through jiu-jitsu you will see that it is the power in the mind that overpowers, not the body.
