ADULT JIU-JITSU
Creating Movement in the Gentle Art
The base structure around the basic fundamentals and movements of the sport. There will be a systematic curriculum designed to improve main systems of jiu-jitsu: front headlock, kimura, armbar, triangle, leg locks, and back attacks.
The “warmup” is designed around movements of the sport and drilling sequences that will build mind/muscle connection for important fundamental movements.
We progress into a more “theoretical” part of the class with an emphasis on drilling and repeating movements to once again build the mind/muscle connection.
We lastly move into positional sparring and live sparring.
THIS IS WHAT JIU JITSU LOOKS LIKE!

COMMON QUERIES
What is Jiu-Jitsu?
JuJitsu was developed during the feudal period of Japan, the “Samurai” era. The original intent was to give the warrior a means to take down and kill his opponent if his primary weapon was broken or lost.
​
Originally, this was mostly takedown and joint-lock techniques and the “finishing” technique was to stab the opponent with the dagger…
This reached a peak around the early parts of the 20th century when other styles like judo (a more “sporting” form) and karate (imported from Okinawa) began to be popular.
​
As practiced today, there is “traditional” Japanese Jiu-Jitsu which consists primarily of takedowns, throws, joint-locks and more.
Then there is the more modern “Brazilian” JiuJitsu, which is modified to include a few strikes (primarily to create openings), a lot of takedowns, and a great deal of “ground fighting” with the aim of gaining a joint-lock or strangle….. Or getting the opponent into such a position that he can’t defend.
“BJJ” has become the primary grappling style used by MMA fighters.
Will knowing Jiu-Jitsu help me in a Street Fight?
Even with the most basic of fundamentals, protecting yourself in an altercation with a violent offender should be comfortable enough to help evade and defend yourself efficiently and safely.
I haven't hit the gym in years. How can I get back into a routine?
We believe jiu-jitsu is a great way to get back into shape. Practicing jiu-jitsu gives you a strong understanding of body mechanics and leverage. Having these principles in your mental arsenal will make your return to the gym a much better go around.

Do I have to be strong for jiu-jitsu to work?
No. This is far from the truth. Jiu-Jitsu's core principles allow for even the smallest person to effectively engage in a situation against a person much stronger, faster, or bigger!
