Benefit of Jujitsu

[DirtySecret]

What's the benefit of jujistu and football? Is Shembo trying to work on foot and hand work? I would like him to take yoga so he be less likely to get injuried.

juijistu, like other martial arts, builds confidence and discipline. plus it's extremely popular through the world of MMA.

Dude who cares if he chokes out a Wolverine center after a 10 yard gain, so long as the refs don't see it...

Than Bran Kelly will say "he didn't see nothing wrong, and Shembo was trying to free his hands."

With a traditional Gracie jiu-jitsu lock.

It is primarily about ground tactics, but it could help him with his hands, and shedding blocks as well. That might be a stretch, but worst case scenario is he likes to compete, and that is a great thing. It's a wonderful workout and he will gain a little flexibility. If he's going after it daily, getting put in those locks and bars will increase your flexibility. Overall, it is just fun. It was always a good day of PT in the Army when we did combatives.

why don't we get an opinion from MBECKHA?

discipline and flexibility cant be a bad thing. hopefully he isnt taking meathead jiu jitsu and is actually learning something.

I'm not a martial arts guy, but I seem to recall that jujitsu is heavily into manipulating another person's body, using as little of your own energy as possible? This might be a good link in a linebacker's chain of knowledge. He has offensive lineman charging upfield at him, attempting to pancake him, on almost every play. If studying jujitsu helps him to avoid and/or shed those blocks, then I'm all for it. If it helps him do so while conserving energy that will be needed in the 4th quarter, then I am even more for it. As someone else said, though, the worst thing that probably comes of it is that he is more athletic because of it.

Seems logical. Better expenditure of energy, honing reaction speed (reflexes).

Big 10 refs consider jujitsu "no call holding". Is there holding in the Big 10?
