Brazilian jiujitsu is a highly effective martial art that involves take downs, grappling, dominant positions and submissions. BJJ is a finishing art where you can control your opponent with little force using leverage and technique. This martial art is a great option when facing larger opponents and is much easier to train in without getting injured (verses striking arts).
Our classes are all level and age appropriate, making it a fun challenge and a great confidence builder. You will always go home better than when you came. Make the best decision, and try a class today.
