Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and
self-defense system that focuses on grappling with an emphasis on
ground fighting. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker
person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant
by using leverage and proper technique in order to achieve
positional dominance. The BJJ practitioner takes the fight to the
ground and applies joint locks and chokeholds to defeat their
opponent.Jiu-Jitsu is unique in that it can be practiced at (or
near) full strength with very little chance of injury due to the
practitioner’s option to submit or ‘tap-out’ when he or she feels
uncomfortable. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling
tournaments/ MMA competition or self-defense.
Classes will start off with agility and calisthenic style movements to warm up the body. The instructor will bring the student through drill training; IE Gound positioning, submission techniques, defense, reversals sweeps, etc. Depending on your experience you will then go through scenario rolling or live rolling to work on the application of techniques taught during class.
