About Us

Jiu-Jitsu is a self defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one’s opponent, gaining a dominant position and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.

Jiu-Jitsu revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. Jiu-Jitsu training can be used for sport grappling and in self-defense situations. Sparring, commonly referred to as “rolling” within the Jiu-Jitsu community, and live drilling plays a major role in training and the practitioner’s development. Jiu-Jitsu can also be used as a method of promoting physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.
