Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was made popular in the U.S. by the Gracie family. It is now the fastest-growing martial art in the world. The art is comprised of four components: self-defense, vale tudo, sport jiu-jitsu, and takedowns. The techniques of Jiu-Jitsu help a smaller and weaker person defend against a larger, stronger opponent of greater physical attributes. Students will get a great strength and conditioning workout while learning one of the world’s most effective martial arts.
