This course is designed to give students of any experience level an overview of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), the study of effective physical control in combative settings. Whether your interest lies in competing in BJJ as a sport, part of an exercise routine for physical wellness, or to be prepared for the emergency situation of protecting yourself or loved ones from physical violence, everyone comes together on the same mat to make each other better. Students will be introduced to common techniques and tactics, as well as familiarized with what to expect in a typical BJJ training session with an emphasis on safety practices. Live sparring is entirely voluntary.
