The Program

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport and a form of self-defense that focuses on grappling, especially ground fighting.  BJJ instruction emphasizes the use of ground techniques, submission holds such as joint locks, and body positions.  Students will train both gi (uniform) and no-gi.  BJJ has become the most prominent grappling style in the sport of mixed martial arts such as the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) and Strikeforce.   As students improve, they can achieve rank and train for competition in both submission grappling and mixed martial arts.
