Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
NJJ, often referred to as the “gentle art,” is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and submission techniques. Originating from judo and traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, BJJ emphasizes leverage and technique over size and strength, making it an effective martial art for practitioners of all body types. Through controlled sparring and drilling, students learn to use leverage and technique to overcome larger opponents, making BJJ a highly practical and effective form of self-defense.
Why Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Training in BJJ offers a multitude of benefits beyond just self-defense. Not only does it provide an effective means of protecting oneself in real-life situations, but it also promotes physical fitness, mental discipline, and personal growth. BJJ fosters confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills, both on and off the mats.
