LEARNING BJJ IS THE BEST THING YOU COULD DO BECAUSE IT’S A SELF-DEFENSE SYSTEM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS WHEN IT MATTERS.
Anyone interested in self defense should have at least some fundamentals in every area of fighting. The truth is most people simply are not conditioned to the stresses of physical violence or even the mere threat of physical violence. Many people don’t realize the mental fight that accompanies the physical fight in a self defense situation. The result is a panicked mess of limbs with minimal to no guiding intelligence in the attack or defense.
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gives its practitioners a sense of body and situational awareness while allowing them to defend themselves against attackers of all sizes. It is said that a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can defend themselves against any untrained assailant on the streets. You usually will not encountered a trained assailant for they have better, more productive things to do with their lives.
BJJ teaches to neutralize and control the assailants in a non-lethal way. Utilizing control versus striking tactics which could land the defender with battery charges and possible civil lawsuits.
A Brazilian Jiu-jitsu belt which is the second belt rank after white has the ability to defend themselves against any non-martial artist on the street, usually takes about 1.5 years of training.
The live training in every Renzo Gracie Jiu-jitsu class will build muscle memory for those techniques as well as have you utilize them during every class so you will be confident when the situation arises.
Brazilian Jiujitsu helps improve self-confidence by learning ways to control a situation without having to hurt the other person.

Bully Proof : most bullies lack self confidence hence needing to bring someone down to below their level.
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu teaches you walk with confidence and not look like a target.
When those skills are needed however, the bully doesn’t have to be hurt to be neutralized. It is less likely or even impossible to get in trouble when you are just holding down an assailant be it in a street altercation or a school bully situation.
Given the recent school bullying issues, many schools have adopted the suspend both parties rule — the bully and the victim. This may be a misguided point of view for if a person being bullied fights back, they are in fear of also being suspended.
Brazilian Jiujitsu is a martial arts that teaches you to control your aggressor. For example, getting out from a badly pinned / bottom position which is practiced at every class and then reversing the position where the victim now is on top and in control via a top mount (sitting on top of opponent position).
Live training is done at every Renzo Gracie BJJ class where 50% to 75% of strength are used by the students to try out their techniques. So you will feel confident when the comes time to use them.
Brazilian Jiujitsu is based on the theory that a weaker, smaller person can beat a stronger person by using leverage and physics.

Use of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu in healthcare setting
Too many sad news of Emergency medical technicians, nurses and doctors being the victim of assault while trying to do their job. Either an irate family member, friend or the patient themselves.
Healthcare workers should never have to fear for their lives when working to save them. I know first hand as a young resident doctor and now an attending physician, I have witnessed aggressive patients especially in the emergency department setting. The reality is that a hospital or any health care environment has the potential for violence. Security staff may not always be close by to help in these cases.
