Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most effective form of self defense that teaches you how to fight in a close range and control your opponent through leverage and techniques. The objective of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is to subdue your opponent through a variety of submission holds and joint locks without hurting your opponent.

It's the only style that has been tested and proven where the smaller person can immobilize a bigger person through technique; that's one of the main reason parents love Jiu Jitsu for their kids. They can protect themselves against larger people, perhaps larger bullies, without having to hurt the other person.

It's so effective Jiu Jitsu is one of the core Martial Arts that Mixed Martial Arts fighters, including those that compete in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), must learn before stepping into the cage. We aren't talking about theory or having you do forms like you may have seen or experienced in other Martial Arts, this is what professional fighters rely on, and now you can learn the secrets of Jiu Jitsu in a fun and friendly class environment.
