What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, often times called BJJ for short, is a Martial Arts style popularized by the world famous Gracie family. It has been used to dominate Mixed Martial Arts competitions around the world. Instead of using kicks and punches to defend yourself, it is an art of controlling your opponent through a variety of holds, chokes, throws, and joint locks by using leverage. Although you will learn Jiu Jitsu techniques one at a time, the essence of Jiu Jitsu is the ability to flow quickly from one technique to another to control an attacker. These techniques are devastatingly effective and can be learned to be employ in almost any self-defense situation.

BUYER BE AWARE:
Please don’t confuse us (Stevensville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) with other schools in the Stevensville area. With the rising popularity of the Ultimate Fighting Challenge (UFC), there has been an upswing in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools trying to capitalize on BJJ without understanding the true discipline and intricacies of the art. Unfortunately, it has become a battle of profit rather than teaching the foundation of what the Gracie family has set.
Many Martial Arts instructors are not credible sources for learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Some will attend a few classes or seminar and deem themselves qualified to teach you. Or, if a BJJ instructor claims to be a black belt, but yet has to seek the assistance of another black belt to tell him how to teach by visiting his school every so often, his is not a credible source to learn from either.
