Gi BJJ
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Takedowns
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a Gi (Judo suit!) based martial art that focuses on ground fighting and submission holds. The sport has been made popular by the UFC which, in their first event, showcased that it was the most dominant martial art in a one on one setting! Following this cultural figures like Joe Rogan, Lex Friedman, Russel Brand, Mark Zuckerberg and many others championed the benefit the sport has for your mind! In a world of notifications and stress nothing occupies you fully like BJJ. It really is a healthy break from reality where the troubles of the world are left behind and you can share time on the mats with like minded people working to improve.
BJJ places a strong emphasis on leverage, grips, technique, and positional dominance, allowing smaller individuals to overcome larger opponents. The most effective martial artist in the gym really does tend to be the one that knows the most technique and we provide a time tested speedy path to getting good for beginners! Wearing the gi allows you to add an incredible arsenal of uniques attacks and control patterns that you wouldn’t have otherwise. Think of it like Judo vs Wrestling but on the ground!
BJJ promotes physical fitness, mental discipline, and problem-solving skills, making it popular for self-defense and offers a strong mental health benefit without taking damage. It is one of the safest martial arts as well as the most effective!
