Are you curious about the sport of Brazilian Jiujitsu (Jiujitsu BJJ)? The popularity of this dynamic martial art is growing! It is an amazing system of self defense AND numerous opportunities exist for competition (as a sport).
Jiujitsu! Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a dynamic and strategic martial art that focuses on ground fighting and submission holds.
Originating from Japanese Judo and Jujutsu, BJJ was further developed in Brazil by the Gracie family, who adapted these techniques to emphasize leverage, technique, and practicality, making it possible for a smaller, weaker person to successfully defend against a larger and stronger opponent.
At its core, BJJ involves grappling and controlling an opponent through skillful maneuvers that aim to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds. Training in BJJ not only improves physical fitness—enhancing flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health—it also sharpens mental acuity and resilience, teaching patience, strategy, and adaptability.
Jiujitsu classes at Athletes Arena include specific warmups to ready your mind and body for movement, drills and techniques performed under the close supervision of our coaches, and a live ‘rolling’ segment where you will implement lessons learned against a resisting opponent.
