The basics are critical to developing a solid understanding of Jiu Jitsu. This class is recommended for beginners and advance students.

All-Levels Jiu Jitsu

Our all-levels class allows students of any skill level to learn more advanced moves and techniques. This class focuses heavily on positions, transitions, and submissions. The lesson is then followed by a bit of sparring to put new skills into practice and allow students to work on their techniques.

No Gi Jiu Jitsu

There are times when we train without the use of the gi. By doing this, we change up the style and pacing of the grappling. The grips that would be provided by the traditional uniform are removed, allowing a faster pace and it changes up the way we approach positions and submissions. This class puts emphasis on control and mobility.

Overview

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting as a self defense. Jiu-Jitsu has recently become more popular and is noted to be one of the fastest growing MMA sports in the United States. The concept of BJJ is that smaller people who are not as strong can defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent. Through the use of skillful leveraging techniques and effective groundwork, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu martial artists are able to manipulate, subdue, and control their opponent.
