10 REASONS TO JOIN GRACIE BARRA TWIN CITIES

1. GB Jiu-Jitsu in Bloomington-Normal is a truly exciting way to get fit

Jiu-Jitsu is often likened to a game of physical chess where you exercise both your body and your mind. If you don’t like to work out at a gym because you get bored, you’re not alone. Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, for the same reason. They found Jiu-Jitsu to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost. What’s more, you’ll still learn to defend yourself. It’s a win-win situation.
