Hillsborough, NJ - 8844 | (201) 320-0640

Details: At Hillsborough Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we ensure you will receive well-rounded, streetwise self-defense skills that work! To achieve this, we combine the greatest benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Wrestling and Judo. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu -is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using powerful chokeholds to force an opponent to submit or be knocked out. BJJ promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant. Submission Grappling and Judo teach you how to escape holds and grabs using techniques such as throws, joint locks and submission. These defenses are most useful in close-range altercations and protection after being forced to the ground.
