Connecticut BJJ
The art that revolutionized combat sports!
MMA took the world by storm, but in 1993 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu dominated every competitor with ease. Fast forward to today and EVERY athlete has Jiu Jitsu integrated into his skill set. Most UFC champions are black belts!
​
Our team of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belts have been involved in the art for 20+ years. We teach a very technical style and have produced a number of impressive competitors.
​
Beginners learn self-defense-oriented techniques to help a smaller, weaker person defeat a larger, more athletic, and more aggressive opponent. As you advance through the ranks, you will also learn several Judo throws, hundreds of submissions, and an incredible array of sweeps, escapes, and techniques to control your opponent.

FAQ:
1. Will I be able to keep up?
Yes, all of our classes are designed with a progressive development philosophy. You will be grouped with people who will help you grow, not hinder you, and you will be taught techniques that you can handle at your level.
2. Do I have to compete?
Absolutely not; the majority of people train for fun or fitness, not to compete. In our experience, most people will end up competing at least once when they are ready.
3. Do I have to buy gear?
Eventually yes. But until then [such as during your trial], we have gear for you to take class with. Once you decide to buy your own gear, you will find the cost to be a minimal investment.

As a Connecticut BJJ Practitioner, You’ll Learn Body Awareness and Control
​
Body control is an essential part of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Practitioners learn how to best use their bodies while minimizing the amount of energy and effort needed to execute a move. This sport emphasizes body positioning, leverage, and control, increasing body awareness. Notably, this body control can enhance performance in many other sports and activities.
​
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches practitioners awareness of their own bodies and how to coordinate with their opponent's movements. By appropriately timing movements, practitioners learn to flow with their competitors and understand the best time to apply force and switch techniques. Through the practice of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, individuals learn how to better anticipate and coordinate stressful situations with others both on and off the mat.
