Jiu-Jitsu, an elegant form of martial arts, began in the battlefield tactics of ancient Japan. Originally developed by samurai warriors, it primarily targeted open-handed combat, focusing more on grappling, throws, and joint locks. As time passed, this martial art form was significantly refined to the softer and more defensive style we recognize today. Its name, Jiu-Jitsu, meaning ‘gentle art’, mirrors the underlying philosophy of using the opponent’s energy against them rather than relying on one’s strength.
In recent years, the popularity of Jiu-Jitsu has surged worldwide. This growth is largely fueled by the recognition of its diverse health benefits and its frequent application in self-defense and popular mixed martial arts competitions. This article will explore several aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, including its noted physical, mental, and social benefits.

The road to leanness is littered with the remnants of horrible-tasting food, dingy Tupperware containers, and the dreams of those who abandoned their quest because of the seemingly insurmountable difficulty.
We’ve all been there at one point or another, but those who’ve managed to travel the wasteland and emerge on the other side victorious have done so by finding a way to stay on the path while others fell to the wayside, rules be damned.
And let’s face it: the fitness industry has managed to create a lot of rules and myths, both intentional and unintentional, to keep people in a constant state of fear and dependence, but the concept of intermittent fasting has come around and anecdotally proved that many of these claims are based off faulty and cherry-picked research, or are just flat out lies. Freeing people from the shackles of dogma and letting them indulge their inner hedonists without an ounce of guilt has helped hundreds if not thousands, achieve the body of their dreams.
Forget about Atkins, low-fat dieting, low-carb dieting, the South Beach Diet, or any of those other fad diets. Here is a nutrition strategy you can use year in and year out to maintain ideal body composition, to get shredded for a show, or to lean out for summer.
