Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu BJJ
Report
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is best described as the art and science of control that leads to submission. Although its history continues to be debated, according to most accounts, the development of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) began when Master Mitsuyo Maeda traveled to Brazil and began teaching a young Carlos Gracie who, at the time, was not strong enough to perform many of the techniques.
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu
Report
No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, or No-Gi Submission Grappling, uses many of the traditional techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but does so without the use of the gi. Without the gi, students and competitors are able to move more quickly and freely, and you may find that it is quite difficult to secure meaningful grips on an opponent without the collars and sleeves that you are used to grabbing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class.
Wrestling
Report
Wrestling classes at Modern Martial Arts and Fitness are designed to teach students how to ground an opponent through the use of tackles, throws, and sweeps, to be used in conjunction with the skills acquired from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu classes.
Techniques are taught with the potential of joint locks and strangles in mind and are designed to give those practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu an edge over other Jiu-Jitsu practitioners who may not be adequately skilled in the ability to take their opponents to the ground.

Muay Thai
Report
Muay Thai, or Thai Boxing, is a Thai form of kickboxing, commonly referred to as the "art of eight limbs, " due to its use of not only punches and kicks, but also elbows and knees. Muay Thai is the dominant striking art of mixed martial arts competitors, as its style of striking is much more powerful than many traditional martial arts.
Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Coming Soon
Report
Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art that emphasizes control over oneself and one's opponents through the use of leverage and technique. It is, perhaps, the single most beneficial martial art for kids to learn, as it teaches them the skills necessary to control an aggressor without causing serious harm.
