Often parents show concern that once their kids learn kicks and punches, they may become violent or even become bullies themselves. In kids' Jiu-Jitsu, they learn to handle problems by using words to set boundaries, keeping a safe distance, controlling their bodies with leverage and not strikes, like other martial arts, and figuring things out through talking. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is known for being the most effective for a smaller person to defend themselves, while it can also be gentle.

Jiu-Jitsu Gracie ou Esportivo?
Hoje em dia, o termo "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" refere-se a academias que focam no aspecto de autodefesa do Jiu-Jitsu Brasileiro, enquanto "Sport Jiu-Jitsu" é comumente usado para descrever uma academia voltada para torneios, geralmente seguindo a IBJJF. regras.
Essa é uma pergunta bastante comum hoje em dia, por isso pedimos a Felipe Costa que respondesse:
" Quando comecei a aprender Jiu-Jitsu, não existiam dois ramos. Aprender essa arte era aprender a se defender, controlando e causando o mínimo de dano possível. Cerca de uma década antes, os torneios foram criados como um alternativa As regras foram criadas para recompensar a superioridade demonstrada durante o combate. Com o passar dos anos, com a popularização da arte, algumas academias começaram a deixar para trás a importância do aspecto da autodefesa em seus currículos. arte, deixar para trás a parte da autodefesa é semelhante a não aprender história, pensando que você não pode se beneficiar do que veio primeiro. O aspecto da autodefesa desta arte é a melhor base para o seu conhecimento, mesmo que seu objetivo seja se tornar. Campeão Mundial, e posso afirmar por experiência própria que é totalmente possível ter os dois estilos no processo de aprendizagem e é assim que ensino todas as minhas aulas. me fez começar, mas o aspecto esportivo foi o que me fez ficar e querer ter essa arte como parte da minha vida para sempre."
Por que nos escolher?
Na Brazilian Black Belt, acreditamos que o Jiu-Jitsu pode ser uma ferramenta para TODOS, independentemente de idade, gênero, capacidade atlética ou habilidade. Oferecemos currículos estruturados de artes marciais específicos para as necessidades de autodefesa de qualquer demografia ou nível de habilidade, com programas criados para iniciantes - adultos e crianças.
Felipe Costa criou um programa com os fundamentos da autodefesa do BJJ, mas que se conecta perfeitamente com o aspecto esportivo do BJJ, unindo sua experiência desde o início dos treinos nos anos 90 no Rio de Janeiro, onde o Jiu-Jitsu era focado principalmente na autodefesa, com sua experiência como competidor de nível mundial, onde conseguiu se manter entre os melhores, como competidor faixa-preta, durante toda sua carreira.
Temos orgulho em criar um ambiente de aprendizado seguro, confortável e acolhedor para todos os alunos. Somos apaixonados pelo que fazemos porque acreditamos que humanos confiantes fazem humanos melhores.
"Muitas pessoas tentam separar o aspecto de autodefesa do Jiu-Jitsu brasileiro do lado esportivo em constante evolução dele. Elas tentam vender como duas coisas diferentes. Eu não vejo assim, mas como uma complementando a outra. Uma base forte e a compreensão do aspecto de autodefesa dela ajudarão você a entender melhor a arte como um todo e a fazer a transição para o aspecto esportivo superdivertido do BJJ, com ou sem o GI, ajudando você a crescer como um artista marcial e a ser capaz de abrir uma nova porta para mudar sua vida e adotar um estilo de vida mais saudável para sempre." - Felipe Costa
