About Us
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that centers on the skill of controlling a resistant opponent and rendering him or her harmless. A tough but gentle art, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu allows students of any size to subdue or overcome greater size, strength, and aggression using superior leverage, grip, and position.
An art with roots in Japanese judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was developed into its current form and promoted in the early 20th century primarily by the Gracie family of Brazil. The Gracies introduced the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the United States in the 1970s.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an art, a sport, and an excellent form of self-defense for men, women, and children. Although Jiu-Jitsu is performed on the ground, it is an incredibly physical workout that requires mental acumen and problem-solving skills. Students learn the art gradually, along with proper breathing techniques and methods of relaxing during practice. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, students develop persistence, grit, respect, and character when regularly practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
