Good for skateboarding too
It’s also a great evener, in that it maintains *balanced* fexibility/strength throughout the body, kind of spreads it out.
The power/ashtanga varieties also build stamina, the intermediate-to-advanced levels of those kinds of yoga can actually be a serious workout.

Actually it does. …
Actually it does. I’ve noticed great improvement whenever I start of slow and do the same excercise again and again, each time speeding up. It helps with making all my movement perfectly natural and in sync with my breathing (obvious benefit for martial arts) as compared to doing it just slow or worse, just fast.

Yoga is great for any martial arts, not only the flexibility, it helps your focus and your overall body function. It boosts your body with energy, if you try you will know what i am talking about

A guy at my club is so inflexible yet he is very good, he has simply adapted the movements and positions in a way that he can do it. I dont agree that you cant be good at bjj if you arent flexible.

Some people might think you could take bjj without yoga or being flexible.
You can take bjj without being fledxible, but you can’t be good at bjj if you are not flexible.
bjj fighters warm up with flexibility exercises, ground escapes/ mount/ reversals. Everything requires good flexibility.
That is why this video is important.

In fact Gracie …
In fact Gracie Jiujitsu is not even Jiujitsu. It is a modified form of judo. The japanese guy who came to brazil and taught the Gracies how to fight was a judoka. Since Judo came from Jiujitsu and is pretty similar to it except for the newaza part(ground fighting)i guess that what the Gracies did with the Judo can be called jiujtsu.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu is …
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the original deviation from the traditional Japanese Jujutsu. The different spelling is to emphasize the brazilian pronunciation. The art was subsequently called Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because, although the Gracies were the originators, other schools within brazil soon emerged, developing new techniques and new styles. Gracie JJ is nowadays generally used to describe the Gracie breed of BJJ. Some people also prefer calling the art Sport Jiu Jitsu rather than Gracie or Brazilian.

yah..it’s just Surya Namaskar (salutation to the sun)
someone probably thought it would be funny to say it’s yoga for BJJ and see how many people would believe them

Gracie BJJ is the …
Gracie BJJ is the same as BJJ.
BJJ incorporates techniques from grappling/submission fighting. More “dynamic” perhaps than standard jiu-jitsu because it mixes in elements from other disciplines, where jiu-jitsu is a set of “fixed” movements. Best way to find out- find a club and try both of them out.
Good Luck and have fun!
