Vision Jiu Jitsu

The idea of Vision in martial arts dates back over 500 years to Japan where Jiu Jitsu originated and translates to “the gentle art”. It was said that to be successful it is critical to see the important details of things up close, such as the technique of your opponent, as well as far away, such as the approach of a challenger. As your skill set increases, your strategy increases, and that expands your vision to see much more than you had before. Jiu Jitsu traveled to Brazil in the 1900s where it was transformed into a competitive martial art and sport. Modern day Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States due to the increasing discussion in pop culture of the many benefits of BJJ on overall well-being.
