What is Jiu Jitsu?
The direct translation is “gentle art” as it is the martial art that can end physical confrontations without causing injury, but it is so much more than that. It is the most dynamic and evolving martial art today. Constantly being refined and improved by millions of practitioners worldwide, Jiu Jitsu is truly a LIVING art. No stale kata from hundreds of years ago, no board breaking, no outdated formalities—just the most effective and efficient grappling techniques as proven by competition, mixed martial arts, and self-defense results. Jiu Jitsu is many things to many people: a hobby, a passion, a workout, a community, a sport, or a lifestyle. What it will be to you is entirely up to you!
