The gentle art of Gracie Jiu Jitsu teaches the use of leverage, creating an effective self defense system.
Jiu-Jitsu, which literally means the “gentle art” specializes in ground grappling, specifically throws, sweeps, joint locks, and other immobilizing techniques. Since most actual altercations end up on the ground, Jiu-Jitsu prepares children to effectively defend themselves against the most difficult self-defense situations. Children enjoy Jiu-Jitsu because they learn powerful defensive skills in a recreational environment.
