Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and grappling techniques. It emphasizes leverage, technique, and strategy over brute strength, making it accessible to people of all ages and sizes. BJJ was developed from traditional Japanese Jiu Jitsu by the Gracie family in Brazil in the early 20th century, and has since become one of the most popular and effective martial arts in the world. At our academy, we offer expert instruction in BJJ for students of all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners, and our training programs are designed to help our students develop physical fitness, mental discipline, and self-defense skills that will serve them both on and off the mat.
