NO GI JIU-JITSU
WHY STUDY BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a grappling sport, emphasizes leverage, and joint manipulation, utilizing technique over size and strength. Properly executed, it allows a smaller person to gain control over a larger, stronger opponent.
Real-world fights often end up on the ground; Jiu Jitsu teaches you to go safely from standing to ground combat, making it a practical martial art to learn to outsmart your opponent.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu also comprises a large portion of the mixed martial arts (MMA) world. For anyone whose fitness goals include professional fighting, knowing how to work on the ground with dominating positions and effective submissions is essential to a successful career.
Even for those who don’t look to compete, BJJ will give you a new level of cardio, conditioning, and mental sharpness that will get you into peak form. You’ll build trust with your training partners and experience culture in a completely unique way.

Then, the fun begins! Everyone lines up on the mat by rank, with the higher belts heading up the right end of the line, and everybody bows in, indicating class has begun. A short warm up starts class and then you’ll pair up with a partner to go over techniques.
