Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling form which originated from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu. There is a common misconception that martial arts is a violent sport, when on the contrary, the word ‘Jiu-jitsu’ translates to ‘gentle-art’ in the English language. It has been increasingly popularized by its’ role in mixed martial arts. This versatile sport allows for people of all ages to participate and is a great exercise to improve mobility, flexibility and stamina. Studies have shown that on average a moderate intensity one hour class can burn up to 1000 calories. Jiu-jitsu was designed for a smaller opponent to overcome a larger one, thus making it a very effective form of self defense.

   Many who begin jiu-jitsu find that it is a skill and lifestyle they cannot stay away from and has changed the course of their lives.
