BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU PROGRAM
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art that was mastered by the Gracie family in Brazil. BJJ focuses on using multiple dominating positions, submission techniques, wrestling, and judo techniques in order to successfully get an opponent to the ground and immobilize them, thus rendering the opponent defenseless. This type of control gives a much smaller or weaker person the ability to control a much larger and/or stronger person. By utilizing superior leverage, grip, and positioning, students quickly learn the workings of the human body and how to control it. Students in our BJJ program improve their technique while improving their physical fitness, strength, flexibility, and mental awareness.
