FAQS
What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
BJJ is a highly developed grappling martial art. It is the “gentle art” in the sense that in a real altercation a practitioner may safely force his opponent to surrender or put him unconscious. (Striking martial arts are riskier in that concussions and fatalities are more likely to occur when in a real-life altercation.)
Can I really start as an absolute beginner?
YES. I focus on beginners who have or lack athletic attributes. All of our classes are cutting-edge and fundamentals-focused, providing a strong foundation for absolute beginners. ALL of our classes are great for those who are out of shape or those in shape.
Am I too old to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
I have non-athletic students who started in their sixties and there are they are moving and grooving like everyone else.
Do I need to be physically flexible?
No. I not flexible so anything involving extreme positions will NOT be in our training curriculum.
Can girls and women train?
Absolutely. The techniques of BJJ are based on the principles of physics. Even a very weak female can multiply her power output by factors of 4+.
Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu effective? BJJ is a highly practical form of self-defense which has been proven in the context of mixed martial arts competition and fights around the globe. Submission grappling is a style of combat focused on bringing down and controlling one's opponent on the ground by using leverage, body weight, frames, and balance. While retaining control, the practitioner will use a finishing technique such as a choke or joint lock bringing the match or fight to a close.
