The Mental Benefits of Training BJJ - Frisco

BJJ is a grappling-based martial art specializing in ground fighting with the ultimate goal of submitting your opponent. The closed guard is the trademark position of BJJ — you're on your back with legs wrapped around your opponent's torso. Since strikes aren't allowed in BJJ, students can spar with full intensity after every class.
