Details: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a highly effective close range grappling art that has totally changed the martial arts community over the last decade. Originating from traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, the art was developed and refined by class1 the Gracie family of Brazil to focus on ground fighting techniques. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is designed as a system that maximizes leverage and body positioning to overcome larger, more powerful opponents. BJJ emphasizes the use of submission techniques; such as chokes, cranks, and joint manipulations. Classes start with a conditioning warm-up and lots of drilling. Techniques are then taught and practiced with partners. We finish each class with sparring.
