BJJ revolves around the concept that a smaller person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger opponent by using leverage and weight distribution. Groundwork such as holds, and submissions transition to victory. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling and self-defense situations. Sparring plays a major role in training and student development. BJJ can also be used as a method of promoting physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.
Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program teaches students how to control a resisting, possibly even larger opponent, through the use of various techniques, rather than brute force.
