Why learn jiu jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, commonly referred to as BJJ, is a ground-based martial art that uses technique over strength. Instead of sheer force or power, jiu jitsu teaches how to manipulate your body and that of your opponent using leverage, pivot points, and joints. There are endless amounts of movements and “rolling” with your partner can often feel like a game of chess.
With BJJ, you’ll build your mental acuity just as much as your physical fitness to transform your body and mind. Jiu jitsu is safe and effective for anyone of any skill level, and can also teach you how to defend yourself from the ground or on your back which is common in practical applications.
If you are looking to compete or fight, BJJ is a key part of MMA. You’ll learn proper ground work that will allow you to both defend and attack from various positions.
