BRAZILIAN
JIU-JITSU

The “gentle art” of dominance. Learn to neutralize larger opponents through technical leverage, pressure, and disciplined ground fighting.

The Discipline

WHY BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self-defense system that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique and leverage.

Founded on the principles of efficiency and patience, BJJ is not just a workout—it’s a human chess match. Every session builds mental resilience, physical endurance, and a deep understanding of body mechanics.

“Jiu-jitsu is for the protection of the individual, the older man, the weak, the child, the lady and the young man.”

— Helio Gracie

The Variations

Gi vs No-Gi Sessions

Traditional

Gi Training

Training in the traditional kimono. This style emphasizes grips on the fabric, sleeve control, and lapel chokes. It is slower-paced and highly tactical.

Modern

No-Gi Training

Training in rash guards and shorts. Without the kimono to grab, this style is faster, relies on underhooks, and has a heavy focus on leg locks.
