BJJ_edited_edited.jpg

Jiu-Jitsu is a form of grappling (fighting on the ground) derived from Judo that involves the use of takedowns, control, and submissions for neutralizing an opponent. Jiu-Jitsu is trained as both a self-defense art as well as a grappling sport.

​

The word “jiu jitsu” derives from the Japanese “JÅ«” meaning “gentle” and “Jutsu” meaning “art”; essentially, jiu jitsu is the “gentle art”.

​

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a predominantly ground-based martial art, using the principals of leverage, angles, pressure and timing, as well as knowledge of the human anatomy, in order to achieve a non-violent submission of one’s opponent. Unlike other martial arts that focus on strikes and/or kicks, jiu jitsu focuses on close-contact “grappling” holds and techniques, and the application of chokes and joint-manipulations.

​

More than just a workout, jiu jitsu is often referred to as “human chess” in that it exercises both the body and the mind.

In No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu the goal is to gain a dominant position using strategic positions and submissions. This category explores a lot of the ground game aspect of what you see in mixed martial arts (MMA) and it can also be applied to everyday situations.
