1. Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a truly exciting way to get fit
Jiu-Jitsu is often likened to a game of human chess. If you don’t like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you’re not alone. Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, and they couldn’t find new songs or audio books to entertain them on the treadmill. They found Jiu-Jitsu to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost. What’s more, you’ll still learn to defend yourself. It’s a win-win situation.
2. Your Coaches and fellow students are committed to your progress in learning
The folks at Renzo Gracie make our school what it is, and you too will soon be one of us. You’ll be impressed by how committed each and every team member is to your learning.
