Brazilain Jiu Jitsu with Gi
The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program at Revolution Self Defense is designed to give students an extremely strong foundation in one of the worlds fastest growing sports. Not only is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a fundamental weapon in any real MMA fighter's arsenal, it is also one of the most respected martial arts in the world. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the few martial arts in the world that has proven that its techniques can be applied successfully against larger and stronger opponents. In fact, the first MMA competition in the US was created by practitioners of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to prove how a smaller Jiu Jitsu player could successfully defeat bigger opponents from a wide range of fighting styles.
Since that event back in 1993 many styles have sought to emulate and even copy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, however, the art has held it's position as the most effective grappling and ground fighting style ever seen.

What Makes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so Effective?
First, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu truly emphasizes proper technique over the use of strength. It is designed to be a gentle art that causes an opponent to voluntarily submit as opposed to beating them unconscious. Through proper body mechanics and leverage Jiu Jitsu players put their opponents into a position in which there is no escape.
Due to the fact that there is no striking in the art, it can be practiced at a very high intensity with little risk of injury. Through sparring, students learn how to effectively apply technique no matter how much pressure their opponent is putting upon them. Due to the low risk of injury many students choose to supercharge their training by competing in grappling and Jiu Jitsu tournaments. Competition forces students to learn more, train harder and become their best. With a very high percentage of students actually competing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu produces many great martial artists and instructors.
