What is BJJ?

In the theoretical bases Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the weaker person overcoming a stronger person through the application of techniques (consisting of chokes, joint locks and submissions) instead of brute strength in which most certainly the weaker person would lose. The art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu continues to evolve and practioners will achieve knowledge, confidence, self esteem, and self control to get him/her out of dangerous situations.

What is MMA?

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full contact sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques, from a mixture of martial arts traditions and non-traditions, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground.
