Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Known as the "gentle art," Jiu-Jitsu is one of the safest martial arts as it focuses on control and submissions, with no striking involved. During live rolling, we emphasize using technique, not strength, always with the goal to improve, not win.

However, injuries are a part of any intense sport and may occur during training. If you experience an injury, make sure you get medical attention from a healthcare provider as soon as possible and inform your coaches at 101 Jiu Jitsu. Even if you are temporarily unable to participate, showing up to watch class and ask questions is a great way to continue learning.

For your first class, just wear workout clothing and bring a water bottle. For gi classes, you will need a gi. We have gi's available for you to borrow at no charge, or you can purchase one at our front desk. For no-gi classes, please wear a rashguard or snug fitting shirt along with snug fitting shorts or leggings.

When put in dangerous and unavoidable situations, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training will give you a clear advantage over an untrained opponent. The foundation of Jiu-Jitsu rests on the concept that a smaller opponent can beat a larger and stronger opponent using leverage.

There are many classes marketing themselves as "self defense," often targeted to women. These are usually made up of unqualified individuals teaching unproven attacks. Dedicating time to learning a true martial art is far more beneficial in terms of developing confidence and skills that can work both on the mat and in the streets.
