American & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Also known as 'the gentle art', jiu jitsu emphasizes strategically neutralizing one's opponent through 'submission techniques' including chokes, joint locks and immobilizations. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is additionally adapted for street combat, especially for a smaller person facing a larger one. American Jiu Jitsu is an aggressive style of grappling for MMA that combines Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with American-style wrestling to force opportunities for rapid submissions and finishes.
