Jitsu IQ

Jiu Jitsu resists final definition. This is our living codex. Sweeps, subs, and escapes for the curious mind.

If your arm triangle isn’t working, it’s not strength — it’s structure.
• Head not low enough
• Elbow not high enough
• Hips not angled
Fix that geometry. The tap comes from pressure, not muscle.

In Judo it’s ude garami. In catch it’s the “top wrist lock.” In BJJ it’s Americana, named after the Americans who spammed it on the mats in the 40s.

Rats deprived of rough-and-tumble play show stunted social development & less adaptable brains. Grappling isn’t just fun, it’s neural training for resilience, cooperation, and creativity.

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?

Graugart says locking black belt degrees behind time served is the dumbest idea yet, claiming it’s stricter than the very arts BJJ mocked for decades.

The formula was simple for Suarez: takedown, control, repeat until the unanimous decision was locked in. Grappling doesn’t always impress the audience, but it does impress the judges
