Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is mainly a ground fighting style. It is the most modern style of Jiu Jitsu to date. Its effectiveness for modern self-defense lies first in its regular live training as well as its ability to subdue an opponent without harming them.
About Our School
We provide a fun and relaxed environment in which to learn Jiu Jitsu. Classes are structured with a good warm up routine to improve muscle memory, balance, speed, endurance and flexibility. After the warm up we move into a technique section where students partner up and practice techniques shown by the instructor. The last half an hour of class is devoted to sparring or "rolling." This section of the class is where students learn how to use their Jiu Jitsu in real time. Emphasis is placed on correct technique rather than brute force.
Charlottesville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is dedicated to learning and teaching the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
