What Is Jiu Jitsu

Jiu-Jitsu is a comprehensive martial art that originated in Japan and focuses on a wide array of defense scenarios and techniques. Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes the ability to turn an attacker’s own force against him or herself, which means size and strength are not the most important factors in achieving proficiency in this art.

The Warrior Way

Our style is comprised of many modern-day descendants of unarmed combatives such as Judo, Aikido, Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Instead of studying one of these styles alone, our classes teach techniques from all of them. This style of American Jiu-Jitsu is a complete martial arts system with a deep focus on self-defense scenarios. Our students will learn everything from striking, throwing, weapon defenses, multiple attack scenarios, ground fighting, and more. While all martial arts styles have value, many are sports-based rather than a fighting art. They specialize in training for competitions, which limits their response and tactics in real-life scenarios.
