How Does Jiu Jitsu Discipline You?

You hear this all the time as a sales pitch from martial arts academies. 

It's SUPER common to see an advertisement that says something like "Training Jiu Jitsu can supply the discipline your child needs to succeed in life!" 

Sure. That type of discipline sounds good but, what the hell does that even mean? 

If you ask a child to describe discipline, you most likely will not get a positive answer. In most cases, discipline for a child is always a negative experience and often times comes after they were doing something against the rules. 

So, again, what is the discipline that you or your child can get from training?

"This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you."

What I like to tell our kids in our Jiu Jitsu program is, "Be disciplined so that you don't need disciplining."


Basically, take care of your business and you won't have to face parental wrath and get your devices locked up in the family safe.


This is the literal basis of good Jiu Jitsu training; train with diligence so that you don't get your butt kicked.


Straight up, Jiu Jitsu is not easy as a beginner. If you want it to be easier you must take steps in your life to fulfill that need. Those can include

  • getting more sleep
  • drinking less sugary drinks
  • eating less gas station foods


Being disciplined doesn't mean that you have to have a drill sergeant instructor telling you what kind of piece of trash you are. It means making a decision and sticking to it so that you can yield positive results. It's that easy.


I think training Jiu Jitsu makes being disciplined easy. It coaxes you to put the time, work and thought into what you're doing because it's just so damn enjoyable!


Being disciplined doesn't have to be a negative experience. As a matter of fact, it should be the most enjoyable thing you do.
