Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu


Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that specializes on grappling and ground fighting. BJJ believes that "size doesn't matter"...that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger opponent by using leverage and proper technique - most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent.
 
BJJ training is popularly used for sport grappling tournament (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense. This style of training has become immensely popular for people of all interests, whether for competition or to get/maintain great shape. Great health and impeccable fitness levels are attained when training in BJJ.
