Classes
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a martial art and combat sport. The martial art and sport focuses on grappling and ground fighting. Developed in the 1880s by Japanese immigrants to Brazil and further promoted by the Gracie family, Brazilian jiu-jitsu has become popular in recent years due to its usage in mixed martial arts, notably the UFC.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu, or “BJJ” for short, has a simple concept: you can overcome an opponent by using proper technique and leverage with takedowns and ground fighting. A strong and heavy opponent can be dominated by a smaller, weaker person that takes them to the ground and applies joint-locks and chokeholds. BJJ has evolved into a popular self-defense system.

WORKOUTS WHEREVER, WHENEVER
Jiu-Jitsu is like any other sport or activity: your progress is a consequence of how hard and how smart you work. Group classes are the best proven way to teach Jiu-Jitsu, since the diversity of training partners creates more and different challenges allowing a student to improve more quickly. However, private classes are definitely an essential complement that no serious Jiu-Jitsu student should do without.
The individual attention and approach that a 30 or 60-minute session with one of our instructors provides can and does lead to significant improvement in a student’s Jiu-Jitsu game flow.
It is highly recommended that all students take at least one private lesson per month to review techniques and address specific challenges in his or her Jiu-Jitsu game flow.
