How BJJ can help people with Anxiety

Anxiety is a common psychological struggle that is experienced by many people on a daily basis and it affects over 40 million of people in the United States alone.

Anxiety is the feeling of unease and worry over uncertain or potentially negative outcomes. It can be a feeling of worry, dread, or being on guard. Feeling of unease or of being on edge. Also can be a feeling of being restless and jittery and it can lead to a sense of dismay or a feeling of impending doom.

In addition, anxiety is typically associated with three types of responses: fight, flight, or freeze. The fight response is when a person feels the impulse to confront the cause of the anxiety, while the flight response is when they feel the need to escape the situation. It is the freeze response when they become immobilized and unable to take any action. 

Overview

Anxiety is a common psychological struggle that is experienced by many people on a daily basis and it affects over 40 million of people in the United States alone. But, you will be shock to know that under 40% of these people only seek for anxiety disorder treatment. 

However, given the prevalence of this disorder, it is important that we as a society look for additional tools for coping with this problem. Jiu-Jitsu, specifically the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) technique of closed guard, can provide an effective and safe method of managing anxiety. 

Here are the top reasons how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) can help people fight Anxiety.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) has been shown to reduce the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in some patients, as well as prevent memory loss, improve cognitive function and lower anxiety.

Improves focus

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is an important part of a person’s self-defense training. It has helped many people to improve their focus and keep their attention on the task at hand – particularly concentrating on tying up your opponent and escaping from their grips.
