By Bobbie McKee

Have you already encountered being attacked by another person who is far stronger or bigger than you? Perhaps you freaked out because you don't know what to do. Well, here's a very good solution for those individuals who are always being bullied by others. There are different types of martial arts that you can learn and one is Jiu Jitsu. Jiu Jitsu has different techniques that you can use to defend yourself against opponents.

According to some experts, Jiu Jitsu originated in Japan thousands of years ago. It is a form of martial arts that make use of throws, blocks, strikes, locks, and sweeps. Jiu Jitsu is very sensible and defensive. With Jiu Jitsu, you can use your opponent's momentum, size, and strength to your advantage. Many individuals prefer to learn Jiu Jitsu and even children are already enrolling in some classes.

The training is not very easy because you have to go through a gradual progression. Every person who attends Jiu Jitsu classes has to pass through different belt structures. If you sign up for the classes, you will need to overcome demanding attacks, armed or unarmed. All the Jiu Jitsu students practice together and so they develop trust with one another.

Many individuals in the law enforcement and military units are now into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Aside from that, Jiu Jitsu is also considered a sport. In Russia, United States, and United Kingdom, Jiu Jitsu is being used by the military in unarmed combats. Some policemen also use this form of martial arts to beat criminals. In Tokyo, the police utilize Taiho which is also another variety of Jiu Jitsu. Competitions are also held and the scores or points are based on the strikes, throws, and holds. Freestyle competitions also show the ability of defenders when they are attacked by competitors.

The physical fitness of individuals who want to learn Jiu Jitsu is not important. You see, once you're in the Jiu Jitsu training, you will be able to improve your strength, physical fitness, agility, and coordination time. Aside from that, you will also develop and improve your self esteem and confidence. If you pursue regular training, you will also improve your character. The ground fights will surely be able to help individuals on how to think better.

There are various Jiu Jitsu clubs in different countries. If you want, you can search for a club online. Try to find a club that is based in your local area. That way, it will be easier for you to go to the club and learn Jiu Jitsu. Learning Jiu Jitsu may seem difficult at first but with regular practice, you will be able to learn all the necessary techniques and proper leverage in order to be a good player.

If you don't want to join competitions, you can still use your knowledge of Jiu Jitsu in your everyday life. You can't really tell if someone will attack you and since crime is lurking in any corner, you will be prepared for any unexpected attacks.
