WHY TRAIN BJJ?
It’s Simple – Ground Defense!
A Thinking Person's Martial Art
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) starts by assuming you’re in the worst possible position—on your back. From the very first day, we train you on how to handle being on the ground, a scenario most martial arts ignore. BJJ makes you highly effective against bigger, stronger opponents by focusing on realistic worst-case scenarios and empowering you to stand back up or neutralize threats from the ground.
A Methodical Approach: In BJJ, time is on your side. Against a bigger, stronger person, we don’t rush—because strength and speed fade with time. Instead, BJJ practitioners rely on their ability to tire their opponents out, keeping control until the opportunity to finish the fight presents itself.
The Art for Martial Artists: Many people come to BJJ after training in other arts, recognizing its unique value. Its blend of grappling, sweeps, and ground control adds depth to a martial artist’s skill set that other traditional arts may miss. It’s no coincidence that most top-level sport fighters have a strong foundation in BJJ, often reaching black belt level in the gi.
A Full-Body Workout for the Mind and Body: Training BJJ is both physically and mentally engaging. You’ll move your body in ways you’ve never experienced before, building core strength, coordination, and flexibility. This holistic practice challenges your entire body while sharpening your mind.
BJJ is more than just an effective self-defense system—it’s an enjoyable, lifelong practice that builds strength, confidence, and critical thinking. Whether you’re looking for fun, fitness, or real-world self-defense, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has it all!
Why BJJ is Essential:
- Ground Defense: BJJ teaches superior self-defense on the ground, an aspect many martial arts overlook. Most systems don’t even prepare you for what to do if you’re knocked down or slip. In contrast, BJJ equips you with the tools to handle these common situations.
- Dealing with Bigger Opponents: You don’t need speed, strength, or even athleticism to be effective in BJJ. With just six months of training, you’ll be far more capable in a self-defense situation than someone who has never trained in grappling arts.
- Strategic Combat: Unlike other forms of combat, BJJ is a calculated, patient chess match. As you spar with others, you’ll quickly learn how to outmaneuver those less experienced, making it clear that skill trumps strength in BJJ. Beginners often fall into traps, unaware of the tactics BJJ practitioners have honed through countless hours of training.
