What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?
Brazilian
jiu-jitsu is a grappling martial art that utilizes
technique and leverage to impose strangle holds and joint
locks while on the ground, allowing a person to defend
him or herself effectivly against a stronger and larger
opponent. While many hand-to-hand martial arts rely on
strikes using speed and power, Brazilian jiu-jitsu takes
a different approach: speed and power are not a requirement
and are oftentimes not necessary. Rather than relying
on strikes, BJJ emphasizes closing the distance between
you and your opponent and taking him or her to the ground
where technique and leverage can be used to apply submissions
or strike more efficiently. |

What does a typical class consist of?
Each class begins with a warm-up and stretching routine designed to prepare your body for the actual class and help reduce injuries. After the warm-up, technical instruction begins. How much technique is shown varies according to the instructor's goals for that particular class and to allow for more live sparring or rolling. The live sparring and rolling is the most essential part of every class. It allows students to practice the techniques they have learned against a resisting partner, break a sweat and reap the rewards of a high intensity workout.

Pricing will depend on each individual's needs. We encourage
prospective students to try out an introductory

and determine what he or she would like to get out of
training. We can then make a recommendation for frequency
of training and what classes would be best suited for
each individual.
