The famous chef Anthony Bourdain is popular not only for his delicious dishes, but also for his appearance. Everyone understands that the man is no longer so young, therefore it is more difficult to remain in good physical shape every year, but somehow he succeeds.

The point is that Anthony trains every day, no matter where he is – at home or at the other continent. And the thing that helps him in maintaining the form is fighting. Yes, the famous chef practices jiu-jitsu and therefore looks much younger than his real age. It is fighting that keeps his muscles tight and the soul young and energetic.

Jiu-jitsu is translated as the art of softness. This is a basic general term that applies to the spectrum of Japanese martial arts, including various techniques of fight with or without weapons. Today a good sports club can offer great varieties of jiu-jitsu. In this technique, a wide variety of forms of struggle is used. It involves a combination of different techniques, throws, jams, strokes and so on.

 – Fighting classes improve the work of the heart and blood vessels, keep muscles in tone, improve metabolic processes;

 – Regular stimulation of nerve endings positively affects the work of the nervous system and the whole organism, promotes the activation of mental activity;

 – Strengthening ligaments and joints. This is facilitated by a high load, as well as a constant static voltage;
