Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and self-defense system which focus on controlling an opponent through grappling and ground fighting. With BJJ a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, taking the fight to the ground, and applying joint-locks and chokeholds. BJJ is often used in such activities as sport grappling tournaments, mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions, and for self-defense. We teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in a safe and family friendly environment, that empowers and encourages our students to learn and grow.
