Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is an art based in ground fighting. Along with this, it teaches takedowns, takedown defense, ground control, and especially submissions. Submissions refer to holds that either cut off an opponent’s air supply (chokes) or look to take advantage of a joint (such as armbars).
We are specialised in using the leverage of the body to move the opponent and take advantage of the opponent’s strength to use against themselves. The use of grips and the GI (kimono) is a very important weapon to develop the techniques. Its possible to see the smaller controlling the Bigger person. Also very good for fitness, Stamina, weight loss, Self – confidence, self- esteem etc…
The option of fighting while on our back on the mat in such an effective way, is something that separates our art from most other grappling styles.
