Brazilian jiu-jitsu is known as the gentle art. Jiu-jitsu is a form of martial art that was rooted to focus on the smaller, weaker person. One of the founding fathers of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, started this art focusing on his children. All boys, but particularly one who was the smaller of all the boys and would normally get smashed by his bigger brothers.
He met a Japanese jiu-jitsu practitioner who taught them his art and he molded it to help his smaller boy to withstand the bigger boys. This is what evolved into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This man was Helio Gracie, one of the founding fathers of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and one of who introduced the art to millions of people around the world.

No-Gi Classes
Report
No-Gi classes are aimed for a more realistic approachc to self defense. The student normally wears shorts and a rashguard instead of the traditional uniform (Gi). When the student wears the Gi, students can pull, push or control their opponents by using the Gi for gripping.
Without a Gi the student uses wrestling style grips (behind the head, wrists, ankles, etc.) since they cannot grab clothing, this style can be a bit more challenging since grips can be slippery and the student relies on more technique to control and submit their opponent.We offer no-gi classes every Tuesday for kids and adults.
