Overview
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focusing largely on grappling and ground fighting. It focuses on the principles of leverage and proper technique to obtain dominant control on the ground and provides a greater position to resolve the conflict by using submission holds.
BJJ has been proven, when used properly, to be an effective method for dealing with bigger and stronger opponents and has become increasingly popular due in part to its great success in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). A student can train in BJJ for self-defense, sport jiu-jitsu (and submission grappling), and mixed martial arts competition.

Our classes start with proper warm-up and conditioning, with the remaining portion of the class comprised of self-defense, sport Jiu-Jitsu then live position training to end the class.
