Jiu Jitsu
Jiu-jitsu specializes in ground fighting. The art first gained prominence with the advent of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and other 'no-holds barred' matches. It is one of the most respected and effective grappling arts in the world. Positioning, escapes/reversals, chokes and joint locking are all taught.
Jiu-jitsu is not based on strength but rather technique. Skill in the grappling range is necessary to complete your martial arts training in order to truly defend yourself. Training starts with students learning positions, escapes, and flowing from one position to another. Submissions are then introduced. Students will learn various arm locks, chokes (adults only), leg / knee locks, and shoulder wrenches.
The appeal for Jiu-jitsu is that it is effective on a larger opponent. It neutralizes an attacker's ability to do anything while at the same time leaves them susceptible to submission.
Target age: 12+.
Please note that age in the Adult Programs is just a guideline. Students may be allowed to enroll in a class regardless of age at the Sensei's discretion.
