Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi and No-Gi Classes Offered)
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that revolves around grappling. The art is designed to teach an individual to control a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit. Jiu-Jitsu focuses on taking an opponent down to the ground and wrestling for a dominant control position.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a sport in which a person with lesser size, strength, and aggression can control and overcome an individual with greater size, strength, and aggression. To do this, students learn to utilize superior leverage, grip, and position on their opponent. Students that practice the sport will gain a broader understanding of the mechanism and limits of the human body.
The art of Jiu-Jitsu is both physically and mentally demanding allowing practitioners to utilize problem solving and critical thinking skills. Aside from the self-defense benefits, students increase physical fitness, increase mental focus, and gain self-knowledge of their body. Most importantly, students are able to learn and grow with people that share the same passion.
Classes at the academy are taught four days a week and start with a strength building warm up and are followed by demonstration and practice of different techniques. Students also have the opportunity to participate in live grappling with other students that are on or near the same level. Overall, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great workout and teaches realistic self-defense application that both men and women can utilize and enjoy.
