​

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, sport and self defense system developed in Brazil. It is an evolution of Japanese Judo and focuses on grappling and ground fighting.  At its core, BJJ allows a smaller, weaker individual to defend themselves against larger, stronger attackers using technique and leverage.  

The very first time a student steps on the mat, they will begin to learn the basic, fundamental movements critical to success in BJJ. Students will build a strong base of fundamentals and begin to develop a sense of understanding and confidence in their abilities in the art. They begin to see changes in both mind and body as they become more adept at using the techniques that they have learned. As students advance, a BJJ identity emerges and students develop an expression of the art to call their own!
