Deep dives

Jujitsu as a Stress Reliever

Jujitsu provides a unique stress-relieving experience by replacing everyday stress with the acute stress of training. The intense focus required during a jujitsu round pushes aside other stressors, allowing participants to forget about work or personal issues. The physical and mental demands of jujitsu take precedence, and the compounding stress patches are temporarily eliminated from the mind. After a few rounds, all the accumulated stress is replaced by the stress of the training, and once the session is over, the stress disappears.
