Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and self-defense system that focuses on ground fighting and submission techniques. Developed in Brazil, it emphasizes leverage, technique, and timing over raw strength, allowing practitioners to defend themselves against larger opponents. BJJ teaches various techniques, including joint locks and chokeholds, designed to neutralize an opponent’s movement and gain control. Beyond self-defense, BJJ offers numerous physical and mental benefits, improving flexibility, strength, coordination, and problem-solving skills. Training in BJJ builds discipline, resilience, and confidence, creating a supportive community for practitioners of all ages and fitness levels.

WHAT IS WRESTLING FOR BJJ?
Wrestling for BJJ is a dynamic and powerful addition to any grappler’s skillset.

Whether you’re a competitor looking to improve your stand-up game or a practitioner aiming to add versatility to your ground skills, wrestling for BJJ offers invaluable techniques that enhance your ability to engage with any opponent confidently, both on the feet and on the ground. It’s a style of wrestling refined for the art of Jiu Jitsu, designed to give you a unique edge in grappling.
