Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themself against a bigger, stronger assailant using leverage and proper technique; most notably, by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat them.
Jiu Jitsu can be trained for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a major role in training.
Here at Martial Arts Unlimited we focus on developing technique that can be produced under the pressure of competition. We structure our classes to ensure that each student is getting the instruction, drilling and sparring that is needed to be successful. Private lessons are available for those who are looking for personal instruction.
