There’s a new BJJ program in Youngsville! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, also known as BJJ, is a martial art unlike any other. With a focus on takedowns, pins, and submission holds, BJJ teaches you how to control your opponent using superior body position, rather than strength and power. Journey Martial Arts is proud to unveil their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program to the Youngsville community.
My name is Brent Rowe and I’m the owner of JMA and double as one of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coaches. I’d love to share with you how BJJ changed my life and what benefits you can expect to gain out of training with us in Youngsville, NC, regardless of age.
Why I chose BJJ
My martial arts journey started in karate at age 5. I still train and teach karate today, however I wanted to endeavor into learning other martial arts. I thought my skill in another martial art would help me, but boy was I wrong!
BJJ is another breed, cut from a different cloth. It is a great equalizer, a sport where smaller opponents can truly best larger, stronger foes.
From day one, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu taught me humility. No matter who you are, regardless of your status off the mats, everyone is on the same playing field. The mats are also a place where one can be creative, expressive and unique. It offers a balance between grit, sweat and hard work and one’s artistic side.
Physical and Mental Benefits of BJJ in Youngsville
All martial arts require full body movement, but Brazilian Jiu Jitsu requires you to constantly engage every muscle. Not only do you have your own body to contend with, you have a moving opponent who wants to win also. I’ve done crossfit too, but competitive BJJ is just harder.
Full disclosure, most of the time you’re not going 100%. You drill the techniques to the point where they can be applied against another. The mental fortitude Brazilian Jiu Jitsu necessitates is astounding. It takes weak minds and makes them formidable, regardless of age. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Special Shout Out to Kyle Bobbit LLC
We have more people than would otherwise be on the mats because of the amazing owners of Kyle Bobbit LLC, a Wake Forest Based luxury home building and commercial construction company. They’ve graciously sponsored many of our summer camps, giving access to summer camp to those who wouldn’t otherwise get the opportunity.
