What You'll Learn at WABI SABI JIU JITSU
FAQs
-
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), also known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, is a highly effective martial art and combat sport that emphasizes grappling and ground fighting. The core objective of BJJ is to gain a dominant position over your opponent and use techniques such as joint-locks and chokeholds to force them into submission. This martial art is unique in its focus on leveraging technique and strategy, allowing a smaller, weaker individual to defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent.
-
Leverage and Technique: BJJ teaches that with the right leverage and proper technique, a smaller person can control and defeat a bigger, stronger assailant. This makes it an ideal martial art for self-defense, especially in situations where strength alone is not enough.
Grappling and Ground Fighting: Unlike many other martial arts, BJJ is primarily focused on ground fighting. The art of controlling an opponent on the ground is a key aspect of BJJ, making it highly effective in real-world self-defense scenarios.
Joint Locks and Chokeholds: BJJ practitioners learn how to apply joint locks and chokeholds to submit their opponents. These techniques are not only effective in self-defense but are also the basis for sport grappling and mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions
-
Self-Defense: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a proven method for defending oneself in dangerous situations. The ability to neutralize a threat, even when faced with a larger opponent, is a powerful tool for personal safety.
Sport Grappling Tournaments: BJJ is also a popular sport, with competitions held in both gi (traditional uniform) and no-gi formats. These tournaments test your skills in a controlled environment, allowing you to apply what you’ve learned in a competitive setting.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA): Many MMA fighters incorporate BJJ into their training because of its effectiveness in ground fighting. BJJ’s techniques are essential for controlling and submitting opponents in the cage.
