Our next Brazilian jiu-jitsu cycle with Callie Brennan (pictured right) starts this weekend. There are a limited number of spots in each class, so get on it!
Sign Up for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at CFSBK!
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a full contact grappling style that prioritizes strategy over brute force. Literally translating to the soft or pliable (jiu) style (jitsu), it is often thought of as the chess of martial arts. BJJ is, at its, core a self-defense system that employs positional advantages, joint locks, and chokes to defend against an opponent or attacker in an assertive and elegant manner. You needn’t be stronger than your opponent to subdue them, making BJJ one of the most practical and effective martial arts for all ages and sizes. There is no striking in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. This is a submission grappling art based on efficiency of movement, leverage, and timing.
The Level 1 Cycle is your jiu-jitsu starter pack. The course is geared towards anyone intrigued by BJJ but unsure where to begin, anyone who wants to become better acquainted with dynamic movement on the ground, and anyone who could use a review to jump back into it.
In Level 2, we will build on concepts and vocabulary of movement from the various positions with a larger portion of class-time dedicated to progressive resistance drilling, positional sparring, and straight sparring. If you have grappling experience from the past, you are welcome to jump into the Level 2 course!
Course Details
This will be a 4-week course with the option of taking 1 or 2 classes per week. Classes will cover the basic body mechanics and techniques used in jiu-jitsu. Come dressed in standard work out garb (leggings, spats, shorts that won’t fall off) and be advised that the sweat you leave with may not be your own. No zippers, no claws, no jewelry!
By the end of the course, you will be at the point where you can walk into a live-sparring jiu-jitsu class without reservation.
