Will I get toned and muscular from doing jujitsu?

Anyone do Brazilian jujitsu here? If so, how many of you are muscular and toned and ripped from just doing that? no lifting or weight training.

I've never seen a guy who was ripped from just doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Make no mistake though, you will be in GREAT shape (your cardio and functional strength will be extremely high).

But if you want that beach body look, you'll have to hit the weights.

you'll develop muscle strength where there is resistance during your sparring and such. but that's about it. basically you'll build the muscles you need to be better at BJJ.

You won't get ripped off of that alone, trust me

Not just from BJJ alone, no. A person gets ripped with a lot of muscle due to focusing on training those muscles, dropping body fat, dieting properly, and encouraging their body to stop saving fatty nutrients due to the training/diet regimen.

You'll get stronger doing BJJ, no doubt. But that's simply because of the same reason bodybuilders experience: the training you do is what your body responds to and grows in order to handle it more easily.
