DO NOT RETALIATE AND YOU WILL BE REWARDED

[Bernardo Faria @BernardoFariaJJ]

Jiu-Jitsu taught me to ignore ‘bad days.’

Countless times, I didn’t want to train because I was having a rough day—only for it to turn into one of my best sessions ever.

I realized that in Jiu-Jitsu, and in life, most ‘bad days’ only exist in our minds. Show up, do what you’re supposed to do, and get yourself out there—you’ll often realize it was never that bad to begin with.

Maybe we should put our kids in BJJ.

This study looked at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu's effect on young people. The results are incredible.

Kids did jiu jitsu 1-3x per week, 45 minutes on average, and they increased their self control by double digits compared to their peers.

They showed more inhibitory control - aka, less easily distracted, more focus.

Other studies say the same thing:

One looked at MMA vs BJJ, and the kids who did BJJ had:
• Increased self-control
• Increased pro-social behavior
• Decreased levels of aggression

Another study looked specifically at boys with autism. It found that the social + motor control aspects of martial arts have a huge effect:

The group who did martial arts had a 12.79 LOWER score on problem behaviors than the control group.

In a world that’s constantly trying to distract us, BJJ makes you disciplined.

In a world where kids are increasingly isolated, BJJ puts them together & challenges them physically and mentally.

What do you think? Would you put your kids in martial arts?

I post this every couple of months because I still think it’s the funniest thing that ever happened and everyone in the world should see it.

@bisping Another vote for Mr Inbetween! Brassic and Les Norton (if you can find it) are also great.
