WHAT:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant using joint-locks and choke holds. Students in BJJ can train for self-defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi), or just for fun! We highly recommend that all participants wear a mouth guard. You may also be interested in wearing the traditional BJJ uniform: the gi. If not, we ask that you wear a tight fitting shirt or rash guard that covers the shoulders. Additionally, bracelets and other jewelry items must be removed.
