Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a Family Affair
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) isn’t just a martial art—it’s a lifestyle that brings families closer, builds resilience, and fosters growth for kids, teens, and adults alike. At Martial Arts and More, we’ve seen firsthand how BJJ transforms families, creating stronger bonds and unstoppable spirits. Inspired by the meme sensation "This Is Tough But So Are You", here are the top 10 reasons why your family should roll onto the mats together and start training in BJJ today!

Top 10 Reasons to Train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a Family
  1. Builds Unbreakable Confidence for All Ages
    BJJ teaches techniques like escapes and submissions that challenge everyone, from kids to parents.
    Mastering these skills boosts self-esteem. Kids gain the courage to stand up to bullies, while adults feel empowered to tackle life’s challenges, creating a family of confident individuals.
  2. Strengthens Family Bonds
    Family classes or shared training sessions allow parents and kids to learn side by side.
    Training together creates shared goals, mutual respect, and unforgettable memories, turning the dojo into a second home where your family grows closer.
  3. Promotes Physical Fitness for Everyone
    BJJ is a full-body workout involving grappling, cardio, and strength training tailored to all fitness levels.
    Kids burn energy, teens build athleticism, and parents stay active, fostering a healthy lifestyle that the whole family can embrace.
  • Teaches Practical Self-Defense
    BJJ focuses on leverage and technique, enabling smaller individuals to defend against larger opponents.
    Every family member gains real-world self-defense skills, giving parents peace of mind and kids the tools to stay safe.
  • Instills Discipline and Focus
    BJJ requires consistent practice and attention to detail, from learning techniques to earning belt ranks.
    Kids develop better focus for school, teens learn to prioritize, and adults sharpen their mental clarity, creating a disciplined household.
  • Fosters Resilience and Grit
    BJJ challenges practitioners with tough sparring sessions and problem-solving on the mats.
    The “This Is Tough But So Are You” mindset helps families push through setbacks, teaching kids and adults alike to persevere in life’s toughest moments.
  • Encourages Respect and Humility
    BJJ emphasizes respect for instructors, training partners, and the art itself.
    Families learn to value teamwork, listen actively, and stay humble, fostering positive relationships both on and off the mats.
  • Provides a Fun, Shared Activity
    BJJ classes are engaging and interactive, with drills and games for kids and dynamic training for adults.
    Unlike screen time or solitary hobbies, BJJ offers a fun way for families to stay active together, laughing and learning as a unit.
  • Reduces Stress and Builds Mental Toughness
    Rolling on the mats is a mental and physical outlet that requires focus and strategy.
    Kids channel excess energy, teens manage school stress, and parents unwind from work, creating a calmer, more balanced family dynamic.
  • Creates Lifelong Skills and Community
    BJJ offers a progressive curriculum with belt promotions and a tight-knit community at Martial Arts and More in Wilmington NC.
    Families grow together through shared achievements, form lasting friendships, and gain skills that translate to school, work, and life.
