These foundational skills prepare students for all subsequent levels of BJJ training.

Basic Jiu-Jitsu Positions

  • Guard: Any position where your legs are between you and your opponent, allowing you to use the strongest muscles in your body (hips and legs) to defend and control.
  • Mount: When one person is lying down with another on top above their hips. This is a powerful position, particularly advantageous for the person on top.
  • Side-Control: Controlling an opponent from the side without the involvement of their legs.
  • Back: Known as the "human backpack" position, this is one of the most powerful positions in Jiu-Jitsu, providing control from behind.

Basic Jiu-Jitsu Submissions

Our program includes instruction on basic submissions, which are allowed at beginner levels:

  • Chokes: Applied to the carotid arteries, not the trachea, ensuring a gentler and safer technique.
  • Arm bars: Targeting the elbow joint.
  • Shoulder locks: Targeting the shoulder joint.
  • Basic foot locks: Targeting the ankle and foot.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program Overview

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that emphasizes grappling and ground fighting, focusing on leverage and proper technique to gain dominant control and resolve conflicts using submission holds. BJJ has proven effective against larger and stronger opponents and has gained popularity due to its success in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
