Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Street Combat

The Last Place You Want To Be In a Fight Is On The Ground!!

The last place you want to be in a real fight is on the ground!

The vast majority of students that take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes will never compete in a tournament and take the classes for self-defense, yet the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques learned are not applicable for a real street confrontation and are designed for competitions such as trying to attain the submission of your opponent, get a tap out, get your trophy, etc. Vital strikes, joint strikes, breaking limbs and joints, real ways of choking and traumatic disruptions are not in the system. It is a good sport art with skill levels, ranks, weight classes and gender isolation, but in the street, there is no tapping out and no trophies. Your life is your most prized possession to keep. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques place the body in vulnerable positions that are easy for even an untrained attacker to neutralize you immediately and ground sport techniques rely on strength. That is why you don't see a 120 pound person fighting a 250 pound person in a tournament. On the street, anything goes.

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Belt System is specifically for street combat. We utilize Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Combat Hapkido and Dumog that has been modified and pressure tested to be more effective for street self-defense with the goal to get to your feet as quickly as possible to escape or fight from the standing position. The last place you want to be in a fight is on the ground. On the ground makes you vulnerable for multiple attackers, weapon attacks, strength tactics, etc. World-renowned martial arts experts and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champions formed the BJJ Street Combat curriculum. The curriculums goal is to get you quickly out of a vulnerable ground position to a superior ground position or standing position to be able to fight to save your life.

This curriculum will get you to a safe position on the ground from multiple positions you find yourself such as the open guard, closed guard, mount, side flat position, side position, etc. Learn proper tactics from the ground and escape a terrible attack.

If you want to take Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to compete in a tournament then these classes are not for you due to what you are learning is in no way allowed in tournament competitions. If you want to take ground combat or Self-Defense and save your life from a vulnerable position then these classes will provide you great tactics. In addition, you will also learn authentic techniques from other arts such as Filipino Ground Fighting (Dumog), Combat Hapkido, etc.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is Kodokan Judo (Jiu-Do) Jiu-do "The Gentle Way"

Kodokan means, a place for the study of the way

FYI you need to know the real story

Carlos Gracie learned Kodokan Judo from Japanese Judo Master Mitsuyo Maeda while Maeda was traveling to Brazil. Gracie was running a circus and saw Maeda perform Judo techniques and asked him to take him as a student and he did. Gracie once said if he knew what he was learning was Judo, he would have called what he was teaching Brazilian Judo. Mitsuyo Maeda learned his art from the founder of Kodokan Judo, Jigoro Kano. Jigoro Kano combined some jiu-jitsu arts and created Judo. The terms Jiu-Jitsu and Judo were used to describe the same art until the term Judo became more popular as the art grew in Japan eventually becoming an olympic sport. Gracie being a small weaker person was not able to perform effectively many of the Judo techniques such as throws, sweeps, etc. Due to this he concentrated more on rolling around on the ground techniques of the art and began to call what he was teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

If you have kids and they want to learn a ground art, I suggest they learn Kodokan Judo over Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Judo is a great Olympic Sport Art and the first Martial Art I took classes in over 50 years ago from some amazing Japanese Teachers. The curriculum is standardized, indepth and what you learn is well rounded.
