Brazilian Jiujitsu and Character Strength Study
Martial art practice of all types has been used for thousands of years not only as a method to learn to fight but also as a means of developing human potential. If the ancient belief about the immense potential for human development that the martial arts may foster is true, it is a vitally important subject of exploration for the field of mental health. The exploration of the martial arts in the Western psychological literature dates back to the 1960's. This study represents the first to specifically examine the art of Brazilian Jiujitsu. Your time and energy is much appreciated! Please click on the link below to learn more about the study:
