Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling Martial Art based solely on leverage and technique. It allows the practitioner to defeat an opponent of greater size and strength by using various takedowns, pins and submission holds. The techniques are simple, effective and fun to learn.

In 1992, Rorion Gracie with his then partner Art Davie started the UFC. The reason was simple, to prove to the whole world that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was the most effective overall single Martial Art and in order to prove it, he chose one of his youngest and skinniest brothers Royce Gracie to prove it.

Royce Gracie shocked the Martial Arts world by beating opponents who were stronger than him and outweighed him by more than 50 pounds with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His ability to win against such odds was a testament to the effectiveness of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Royce Gracie proved the validity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a martial art and a necessary part of any “Real” self-defense system.

Since that time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has grown in popularity worldwide because of it’s effectiveness in a clinch or on the ground and the fact that any one of any age can learn it and because it is so much fun to learn.
