Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a Therapy
Looking at martial arts, those who have experience in the area of martial arts know that there are basically two different forms of martial arts, at least in combative. There is striking and there is grappling. Striking is the more commonly known position, we meet force with force. Striking is really powerful but it’s also extremely exhausting, physically and mentally. This takes a lot of energy, being that you are constantly working and fighting. Grappling is the entire opposite of this, grappling is closely associated with Judo or Brazilian Jui Jitsu, where it is possible to take someone’s strike energy and use it against them. Grappling is best known for them breaking an opponent’s stance while in some fashion, to bring them down to the ground, so they are no longer a threat. Patients thoroughly enjoy the arts about this approach through Jui Jitsu because it requires very little effort and very little energy. In a way, your opponent is going to do the vast majority of the work. With our newest and experimental treatment, we find a balance of both these forms, and teach our patients how to use it not only physically but emotionally to overcome depression and anxiety in recovery.
