Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the most effective martial arts in existence. This real-world self defense system is tried and tested on the streets of Brazil and is considered a foundational part of MMA. Moreover, the art is conducive to real-world training with low injury because of the students' ability to "tap" to prevent injury.

BJJ teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant through the use of leverage and proper technique. BJJ focuses on a series of interconnected techniques, which work together to take an opponent to the ground and submit the opponent.

Despite this art’s exceptional track record in full contact competitions, it is also known as the “Gentle Art” because of its emphasis on technique and leverage over power or brute strength.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has become a foundational art in the world of Mixed Martial Arts and its study is a near prerequisite for those who are serious about stepping into the Octagon.
