What is Jiu Jitsu?
Jiu Jitsu is a dynamic and practical martial art that focuses on leverage, technique, and control rather than size or strength. Often referred to as “the gentle art,” Jiu Jitsu allows a smaller person to successfully manage and subdue a larger opponent using timing, positioning, and strategy.
At its core, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu emphasizes grappling and ground-based techniques—such as escapes, positional control, and submissions (like joint locks and chokes). Instead of striking, students learn how to safely close distance, neutralize threats, and gain control of their opponent while remaining calm under pressure.
