Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and form of self-defense that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan Judo which traces its roots to Japanese jujutsu. Both forms of Jiu-Jitsu promote the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themself against a bigger, stronger opponent using leverage and proper technique; by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to restrain or defeat them.

Our grappling classes consist of techniques seen throughout the disciplines of Jui-Jitsu, Wrestling and Judo which include body movements, leverage, pressure points, escapes, reversals, chokes, joint locks, throws, takedowns and submissions.
