Class Descriptions

In the early 1900's Japanese Jiu Jitsu was brought to Brazil to the Gracie family by Mitsuyo Maeda when he went the to start a colony. After he taught brothers Carlos and Helio Gracie, they began to evolve these ancient techniques which were a closely guarded secret up until then. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a collection of techniques and submissions designed to survive and even subdue a larger opponent. Participants will need a Gi or Kimono for this class. Most GI's will come with a white belt which is the starting belt that will be needed. A mouth guard is optional but encouraged.
