Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a powerful martial art that has been growing fast in popularity.  This combat sport focuses on grappling and ground fighting. Jiu-Jitsu utilizes the principle that smaller, weaker persons can defend themselves against a bigger and stronger attacker using leverage, joint-locks, and chokeholds.  BJJ is trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments, and mixed martial arts (MMA).

Training Sparring is commonly referred to as “rolling”, and this plays a major role in training. BJJ focuses on submissions without using strikes making it possible to practice at full speed and full power. Methods include technique drills practiced with a non-resisting partner, isolation techniques using only a certain technique or set of techniques, and full sparring in which opponents try to submit each other using any legal technique. Physical conditioning is also an important part of training.      Getting Started We will help you meet your training needs in a safe and clean environment. Weather you want self defense, increased self confidence, or to improve your fitness level, we can help you achieve your goal. Call today and get started!   903-236-9908 Or click the Jiu-Jitsu below and get more information.
