What exactly is this martial art?

A escola Leonardo Xavier Jiu Jitsu tem como missão transformar vidas e ensinar o Jiu Jitsu em seu nível máximo de excelência abordando a arte nos aspectos marciais, esportivos e principalmente filosóficos.

Mas afinal, o que é exatamente essa arte marcial.

O termo Jiu Jitsu tem origem japonesa e começou a ser mais usado a partir do século XIX no Japão.

É importante entender que esse termo passou por uma alteração semântica até os dias atuais, ou seja, seu significado sofreu alterações com o passar do tempo e fatores como diferentes contextos sociais, locais geográficos e eventos históricos que, em maior ou menor grau, foram modificando o significado do termo Jiu Jitsu.

Nos registros escritos no Japão do século XIX, o termo Jiu Jitsu era usado para designar as técnicas de lutas desarmadas que incluíam torções ou hiperextensão de articulações, estrangulamentos, pressão em pontos específicos do corpo e até golpes traumáticos.

 

According to Entrepreneur.com, they describe the benefits of being placed in uncomfortable situations (such as the need to protect oneself through self-defense) as someone pushed beyond their normal comfort zones.  “Whether you are fighting, negotiating, handling customer complaints, maintaining quality control—or whatever your task—you will eventually venture into unfamiliar territory.  If you are able to withstand discomfort you already have the battle half-won.”

Self-defense training has been proven not only to increase a person’s self-confidence, but it also develops and improves their problem-solving skills, critical thinking and reactionary time while reducing stress levels and the ability to focus under pressure.  Self-defense promotes the importance of timing, resilience and emotional control in all situations and will help your employees recognize, control and manage fear in all aspects of their lives. Also, your staff will gain increased body awareness, posture, balance, and reflexes to enable them to avoid injuries and accidents both on and off the job.
