Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

With so many martial art choices why should you choose Gracie Jiu-Jitsu over the rest of them? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is different from other martial arts like Karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Kung-Fu, and Krav Maga for its focus on ground fighting and grappling.

Real Life Application

Many fights and struggles go to the ground. While some might consider being on the ground as losing, that is the complete opposite of a BJJ student. In BJJ, students are taught how to control and neutralize a threat on the ground.

Neutralizes Strength

Some types of martial arts are heavily depending on speed, size, and strength of the individual, whereas BJJ is the complete opposite. Jiu-Jitsu uses patience, traps, opponent mistakes, leverage and physics to subdue a larger opponent.  This is also important for anyone who might be a victim of bullying from a larger person. A person trained in BJJ can easily neutralize a larger aggressor with the training they learn even as a white belt.

Hands On Everyday

While many other forms of martial arts train with padded dummies and throw kicks and punches in the air. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students will grapple every single day. How can you expect to become a mechanic if you never work on a car? The day to day hands on training will make students comfortable for a real life threat. It will have you and your family prepared to take action if needed.

"Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger, and faster than you; so that you learn to rely on technique, timing, and leverage rather than brute strength."
