Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the world's best ground fighting system. The art was developed by Helio Gracie to ensure that a smaller individual is able to defend themselves against a larger or stronger oponent. Our dojo focuses on the self-defense aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu rather than the sport or MMA aspects of BJJ. Often our type of BJJ is called Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Although we do focus on self-defense, we will train for competitions at times and our students have done quite well at competitions
