Jiu-Jitsu

What is Jiu-Jitsu?

Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art based on grappling and ground fighting, focusing on the skill of controlling one’s opponent through techniques that force him or her to submit. It prides itself in being known as the “gentle art”, allowing a smaller, weaker person to use leverage and submissions (chokes, locks) to defend yourself against a bigger opponent. 

Can anyone practice Jiu-Jitsu?

Anyone: women, men, and even children as young as four years old can practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Because it is an art that is designed for a smaller, weaker practitioner to subdue much larger and stronger opponents, virtually anyone of any size, age or sex can practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Can Jiu-Jitsu be used in a real life situation?

Contrary to popular belief, studies show that 95% of street fights end on the ground. The techniques you learn in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, which focuses on taking your opponent down to the ground and keeping them there, enables you to attack or get into a more dominant position. This gives you the upper hand at all times in a real-life self-defense situation.

We are all dedicated to train everyday and improve our games with maximum efficacy, but if you are sick or coming down with something, take the day off.  Training hard will lower your immune system thus delaying your recovery.  It also exposes everyone to your illness thus putting your teammates at risk of also getting sick.
