Shocking Result of Doing Jiu Jitsu

The study across hundreds of boys who did jiu jitsu and a control group for those who didn't. The kids who did jiu jitsu for just one to three times a week for 45 minutes on average increased their self control by double digits versus their peers. They stopped being easily distracted, focus more, they did what needed to be done, or what's called inhibitory control. In a world constantly trying to distract us, you do more jj, you can be more disciplined and hard to kill. And also why that matters, I think, is because the more self control or discipline you have, it turns out, the more likely you are to be successful according to most of the data. So maybe the thing to take away is that we put our kids in BJJ.
