Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Class Description

Classes will begin with a fifteen minute warm up, which will consist of calistenics, cardiovascular training, and drills that are designed specifically for grappling. The warmup will be followed by a series of active stretches.

Jiu Jitsu instruction will begin after the warm up and stretching are complete. The instruction will consist of a technique demonstration, followed by the students practicing this technique. Usually, two or three techniques are shown during each class. These techniques often build on each other, giving the students a variety of options from a given position. Questions can be asked at any time, and will be answered in a clear and effective manner. At the close of the technique section, students will have the opportunity to continue drilling techniques, or to spend time sparring with fellow students, and instructors. All sparring will be conducted in a safe, controlled manner. Jiu jitsu translates to 'gentle art', and should be practiced accordingly.

Jiu jitsu is for everyone, and no one shall be excluded based on size, shape, or physical limitations. Before beginning any rigorous physical activity, you should consult your physician.
