Originating in Asia more than 250 years ago as a form of self-defense, Jiu‐Jitsu focuses on both the physical and interpersonal development of an athlete. Not surprisingly, it is one of the fastest growing martial arts in the world.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu originated in the early 20th century as a modification of the original techniques of Jiu-Jitsu; emphasizing control, focus and timing over strength and speed. It is a complete self-defense system that emphasizes simple movements, practical techniques and realistic scenarios.

A combat sport and martial art that focuses on ground fighting, Jiu-Jitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, strong opponent by using leverage and proper techniques. Minimum power and maximum technique are all that is required to beat your competitor.
