About Us
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is based on the idea that a smaller, weaker person can effectively defend against a larger, stronger, heavier opponent. This is achieved through technique, leverage, and taking the fight to the ground, followed by applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training is useful for sport grappling tournaments and self-defense situations. It is considered a martial art, a sport, a method for promoting physical fitness and building character, and a way of life.
Today, BJJ has made a significant impact worldwide and is the fastest-growing martial art. The ability to defeat an opponent without violence empowers BJJ students both physically and mentally, on and off the mat.
