摘要
The purpose of this study was to explore the transfer of life skills among adults who participated in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Sixteen adults (19-54years of age) completed individual semistructured interviews. Interview transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis. Participants thought their involvement in Brazilian jiu-jitsu had changed their lives. These changes occurred via the acquisition of four life skills reflecting values and characteristics of the sport: respect for others, perseverance, self-confidence, and healthy habits. Head instructors and peer support facilitated the acquisition of life skills. Combined, the values of the sport, instructors, and peers created an atmosphere for learning life skills implicitly.
