Details: Our mission at First BJJ is to equip our members young and old, male and female alike with the most effective self-defense/martial arts instruction in the world. We provide our students the necessary skills to defend themselves without punches or kicks in any real life confrontation. BJJ is a non-striking martial art. Our focus is to teach our students how to defend themselves by taking their opponents to the ground. By doing this, we become capable of defeating a much bigger and strong opponents through the use of leverage techniques that anyone, regardless of weight, strength or athletic ability, can learn. Another big difference between BJJ and other martial arts is how we practice fighting. Unlike other martial arts, with BJJ you have the opportunity to live spar every single class.
