BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU
ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques to gain dominant positions over an opponent and force them to submit by using joint locks and chokes. Jiu Jitsu is founded on the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themself against a bigger, stronger attacker by using leverage and proper technique.
