Fortnite has taken the world by storm, mainly fuelled by its extreme popularity with teenagers. Fortnite Battle Royale is a free-to-play multiplayer video game, where your ultimate goal is to be the last player alive. This can be done either by killing off or escaping your opponents.The link has been made between the incredibly popular game and training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Fortnite has been said to increase attention span, perception and cognition in its teen players. This is very similar to the effects Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can have on teenagers. Although it may be surprising, the game and Jiu Jitsu have a lot in common..

Goal Focused

In Fortnite, the player is focused on being the last remaining layer left alive. To do this successfully, they must have a mental game plan or strategy. This planning ahead is also very evident in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Having a plan of action before facing an opponent will increase your chance of winning and not having one will increase your chance of being submitted.  Practical thought out tactics and goals will lead to success in both the virtual and real world.
