FAQs

What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling/submission/self-defense martial art that primarily focuses on ground fighting.

BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. 

Will I get in shape and feel better learning Jiu Jitsu at Be Jiu Jitsu?

Yes. Be Jiu Jitsu is a full body workout and it is seriously addictive. With regular training, you will notice huge gains in your physical fitness level. And the great thing is… you’ll have fun doing it!

I’ve never practiced a martial art before, is BEJJ the right environment for me to learn?
Yes! Our downtown classes are packed with students from a wide array of martial arts backgrounds. Some hold high rank in other martial arts, while for others, BJJ is the first art they have studied.
