ABOUT BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU:

 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was developed for a small person to be able to defeat a larger, stronger opponent through the use of leverage and positioning. The goal is always to establish dominant position then submit your opponent using chokes, armbars, footlocks, or other joint manipulations.

The art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is unique not just because of the

 

sophistication of its techniques, but for the realism of its training methods. No other art allows you to train at 100% without hurting your training partners.

 

All classes have three main components:

  • A warm-up that builds the level of general conditioning

  • Introduction of new techniques

  • Sparring, which is an opportunity to practice the techniques against a resisting training partner

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the fastest growing martial arts in the United States. California has the most schools and tournaments outside of Brazil than any other state. Sporting events such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and reality shows such as the Ultimate Fighter have put Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map as a respected martial art.
