Exton Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Improving Flexibility and Movement

Greetings fellow men in their late 30s to mid 50s,

As a mid-40s Exton Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) student with a Brown Belt, I want to share with you some of the benefits that come with practicing this martial art. Of course, BJJ is known for being an effective self-defense system, but did you know that it can also improve your flexibility and overall movement? In this blog post, I want to discuss how BJJ can help you become more flexible and mobile in your daily life.

First and foremost, BJJ involves a lot of stretching and mobility exercises. When you first start training, you’ll likely find yourself in positions that require you to be flexible in ways you never thought possible. Over time, you’ll notice that your body begins to adapt and become more flexible in these positions. This increased flexibility will help you move more freely and with less pain or discomfort.

In addition to stretching, BJJ also involves a lot of movement.

You’ll be constantly shifting your weight, changing positions, and rolling on the ground. This type of movement helps to improve your overall mobility and coordination. As you become more comfortable with these movements, you’ll find that your balance and stability improve as well.

Improving your flexibility and mobility can have a significant impact on your daily life outside of the gym.

You’ll be able to move more freely and with greater ease, which can make everyday activities like picking up your kids or carrying groceries much easier. You’ll also be less prone to injury, as your body will be better equipped to handle sudden movements or unexpected situations.

Beyond the physical benefits, BJJ can also have a positive impact on your mental well-being.

Learning a new skill and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone can be incredibly rewarding. BJJ also requires a great deal of focus and concentration, which can help you to relieve stress and improve your overall mental clarity.

So, if you’re looking for a new way to improve your flexibility and movement, I highly recommend giving BJJ a try.

Not only will you learn a valuable self-defense skill, but you’ll also be able to improve your overall physical and mental health. As someone who has been practicing BJJ for several years, I can attest to the positive impact it has had on my life both in and out of the gym. Give it a shot – you won’t regret it!
