Brazilian jiu jitsu is a martial art that involves a large amount of attacks from the ground.

Exercise is known to improve weight loss and body fat ratio. It is done to strengthen and increase the stability of the core and in the exercise the person will lay face on the mat. The person then props their upper body up on their elbows and raised their hips up off the mat as well so that the only points of contact to the mat are the elbows and the toes. With the entire body in a straight line hold the position for thirty seconds, repeat two to three times.

A typical class often begins with some warm up exercises and stretches. The warm up exercises often help strengthen and improve the core muscles. The core muscles are those muscles that are located around the torso and the pelvis.

Have a strong and stable core is very important for the entire body.

Having a strong core is similar to having a strong foundation on a house. You need a strong foundation inn which for all the other aspects of the house to rest upon. A strong core is a solid foundation from which you legs and arms can leverage off of so as to move well and without discomfort.

After the warm up the instructor will teach or review a specific technique or movement. This technique may be an attack, a defense, or an escape to a attack. The instructor may also teach a series of movements. These may be for example, an attack followed up by the defense to that attack. The techniques are practiced at a safe pace and other students help each other to learn and to get better.

The last part of class is usually sparring, often called rolling. These are not full blown fights and striking is not permitted during rolling. Two students pair up and starting on the floor mats they will try to apply techniques against each other.

Safety is always emphasized and students are careful not to hurt each other. Often a student is wanting to improve at a specific technique or position and that students rolling partner works with them to help them get better.

Brazilian jiu jitsu is a fun class that improves cardiovascular heath, strength and flexibility. It is also addictive fun and rewarding beyond the opportunity to earn rank in a belt system. Worth checking into.
