Brazilian or Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective grappling arts in the world. BJJ uses leverage and technique rather than strength to escape from, hold or submit your opponent. As a sport, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great way to get exercise, improve coordination and reflexes, and for those that like to compete, there are many tournaments held all across the country which allow people of all levels test themselves against other practitioners of similar rank /experience level.

 As a self defense system, the skills learned in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are invaluable, as most physical confrontations end up going to the ground. The ability to use technique to protect yourself while in an inferior position, escape to a dominant position and end a conflict on your terms can mean the difference between safety and serious injury or worse.

  Here are just a few of the benefits of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:

-Increase Strength and Endurance
-Cross Training
-Stress Reduction
-Weight loss/Toning
-Improve Balance
-Self Defense

 Because Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu adjusts to fit the body, rather than the body having to adjust to fit one way of doing a technique, BJJ is for people of all ages/body types.
