Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

What Is Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most effective form of self defense that teaches you how to fight in a close range and control your opponent. The objective of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is to subdue your opponent through a variety of submission holds and joint locks without hurting your opponent. It’s the only style that has been tested and proven where the smaller person can immobilize a bigger person through technique.
It’s so effective Jiu Jitsu is one of the Core Martial Arts that Mixed Martial Arts fighters, including those that compete in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), must learn before stepping into the cage. We aren’t talking about theory or having you do forms like you may have seen or experienced in other Martial Arts, this is what professional fighters rely on, and now you can learn the secrets of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a fun friendly class environment.
