Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling. It encompasses effective foot work, clinch fighting, take-downs, throws, escapes, ground control, chokes and joint locks. Use of leverage and balance is taught so that a smaller individual will be able to overcome a larger attacker in a real life confrontation without having to punch or kick. Traditional jiu-jitsu uniforms are worn and a belt system is used for grading. Learning BJJ will enable you to deal with someone who is punching or kicking you, taking you down, and what to do once you are on the ground.

Here’s what to expect from a BJJ/MMA class:

• - 15 min Calisthenics (squats, push-ups, partial squats, burpees etc)
• - 45 min Moves (1 Takedown, 2 Ground Moves-Instructor Led/Demonstrated)
• - 5×5 min Rounds Sparring (Position Training)
• - 30 min of Open Training
