Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on skill, leverage and mental awareness which allows a person to overcome a larger and stronger opponent. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a highly effective self-defense, a competitive sport and a core skill for Mixed Martial Arts (as in the UFC).

Our BJJ Step-by-Step beginner courses are carefully structured and taught in a manner so that someone who is new to the art and/ or is totally out of shape can easily understand with out feeling overwhelmed or confused. The class will be with other beginners so the student will not feel out of place. The grappling and sparing is conducted under the utmost supervision to insure safety.
