FAQs

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and grappling. It emphasizes leverage and technique, making it an effective self-defense system. BJJ is known for its practicality and adaptability, allowing practitioners to defend themselves regardless of size or strength.

The Gracie family, particularly Helio and Carlos Gracie, played a crucial role in the development and popularization of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. They refined traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo techniques to create a system that emphasizes leverage and technique over brute strength. The Gracie family's contribution is foundational to the art, and their efforts have led to the global recognition and widespread practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as we know it today.

Who can participate in BJJ?

BJJ is suitable for people of all ages, fitness levels, and body types. Our classes cater to beginners, intermediate, and advanced practitioners.
