CLASS DETAILS:

Sport Jiu Jitsu - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art, combat sport, and self-defense system focused on ground fighting. It uses leverage, technique, and positioning to allow practitioners to control and submit larger opponents through chokes and joint locks, enabling smaller individuals to defend themselves effectively.

Training emphasizes taking the fight to the ground, achieving dominant positions (such as side control or mount), and applying submission techniques to force an opponent to “tap out.” BJJ is widely practiced for self-defense, sport grappling (both in the traditional uniform—gi—and in no-gi), and mixed martial arts (MMA).

At Gracie NJ Academy, this class provides an environment for both beginners and advanced students to learn, develop, and refine their skills, whether training recreationally or competitively.
