Programs

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

(BJJ) is a martial art that focuses on ground fighting vital in self-defense when over 75% of all fights end up on the ground. The goal is to gain a dominant position and use joint-locks and choke holds to force an opponent to submit. BJJ is well known for being the strongest grappling martial art. BJJ’s biggest strength is its accessibility to everyone and is an ideal choice if you are interested in self-defense and physical fitness.

BJJ promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend himself or herself against a bigger, stronger assailant. Students learn to gain dominant positions over their opponents while learning to escape from vulnerable ones. Once the basic positions and escapes have been established, students learn submission techniques training toward ending conflict. In the process, students develop flexibility, physical and mental relaxation habits, stamina, and agility. BJJ can be trained for self-defense, sport grappling tournaments, and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.
