ABOUT THE CLASS: 

 

What is Jiu-Jitsu?

The word “Jiu-Jitsu” derives from the Japanese “Jū” meaning “gentle” and “Jutsu” meaning “art”; essentially, Jiu-Jitsu is the “gentle art.” Jiu Jitsu is a predominantly ground-based martial art, using the principles of leverage, angles, pressure and timing, as well as knowledge of the human anatomy, in order to achieve a non-violent submission of one’s opponent. Unlike other martial arts that focus on strikes and/or kicks, Jiu-Jitsu focuses on close-contact “grappling” holds and techniques, and the application of chokes and joint-manipulations.

​
