In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu complete knowledge of the ground fighting will allow a smaller and presumably weaker opponent defeat a larger one. Before a student can actually apply the knowledge and moves on the ground they must attain a critical mass. We make every class an opportunity for the student to attain that critical mass of knowledge that will enable them to reach new levels of athleticism, knowledge, and self-confidence.

We offer courses in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts. Brazilian JiuJitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force an attacker to submit. The system is based on the ideal of a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique to defend themself from a bigger, stronger assailant. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition [1].

Most of the classes are performed with the traditional kimono or gi. This enables the student to learn various grips and ways to hold or submit their opponent. Classes are comprised of warm-ups, techniques, drill, and sparring. The latter is a very important part of training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as it is an application of the skills learned. A student can begin sparring earlier on than in most other martial arts due to the control that BJJ enables the more skilled person. We prefer to keep classes informal to encourage questions and participation in the learning process. Take a look around the website and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

At Infinite Jiu-Jitsu we strive to make every class a fun and learning experience. We offer classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults and kids alike. We train in both the traditional gi and no-gi styles.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (or Gracie Jiu-Jitsu) is considered the most effective form of self-defense in the world. Started by the monks in India millenniums ago, Jiu-Jitsu is the base of all martial art systems. It made its way to the northern part of Brazil around 1920 and was taught to Carlos Gracie Sr. by a Japanese master known as “Count Koma” (Mitsuyo Maeda).

In Rio de Janeiro, Carlos and his younger brother, Helio, refined the techniques handed down by “Count Koma” and developed the system known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ soon evolved into a system of leverages that became more effective than its Japanese counterpart and the most popular martial art in Brazil with many tournaments from school to national to world championship levels.

Feeling the need to expand, the sons of Helio came to the US in the eighties to prove the effectiveness of the Gracie system. Rorion, Rickson, and Royce (the letter “R” is pronounced like the letter “H” in Brazil, so, “Rickson” sounds like “Hickson”) have won many no-holds-barred (NHB) matches both in the US and Japan.

With real confrontations being won again and again, BJJ has proven itself as the most effective form of self-defense in the world. It is now the basis of mixed martial arts or Vale-Tudo tournaments and has a large sport competition following. BJJ has something for everyone from the competitive athlete to the weekend warrior. Law enforcement and the military use BJJ as their main self-defense system for hand-to-hand combat.

We are a Tomiki (Judo) Based Aikido school.
This dojo is semi-traditional, We believe more in the practical application of aikido, than the astetics. Our system of aikido is constantly tested in not only Randori Applications, but in real life and death situations everyday. It should be pointed out that prison guards, soldiers, and peace officers are all taught a form of aikido / aikijujitsu. They rarely lose in an altercation. As a citizen it will be easier for you though, as you will not need to restrain someone in an encounter. You only have to survive, and move on.

This is not a sport, this is a budo art and is designed for survival first and foremost. Any further questions please feel free to check out the dojo Q&A or contact an instructor.
