Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

A grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit. Enabling a smaller person to defend himself/herself against a larger adversary by using leverage and proper technique. The Gracie family modified judo and traditional Japanese jujutsu to create the art that we recognize as Brazilan Jiu Jitsu today. It contains stand-up movements, but it is most famous for its devastating ground-fighting techniques. Gaining superior positioning so one can apply the style’s numerous chokes, holds, locks and joint manipulations against a resisting opponent.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be used by everyone! From the sport grappler and mixed martial artist to the quiet intellectual looking for a physical and mental challenge, to the person looking for self defense and a boost in self confidence.

We put a strong focus on the techniques like wrestling take downs, ground control, escapes, reversals, joint locks, and choke holds. We believe "rolling" (controlled and or positional sparing) plays a major role in training, and students’ progression and ability to perform techniques against a real world opponent in controlled environment.
