Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is grappling: controlling a partner on the ground and finishing with joint locks and chokes. Technique and leverage let a smaller person handle a bigger, stronger one, which is why it works for self-defense as well as sport.
Classes run from first-timers to people who have trained for years in other grappling arts or military combatives. We train for self-defense and for tournaments. Competing is never required.
Most classes are taught by black belt William “Bill” Krieg.
What to expect
- A warm-up and conditioning to get you ready.
- The technique of the day, then drills to lock it in.
- Sparring, called rolling, to finish. It’s optional until you feel ready.
