Advanced No-Gi
The translation of Jiu Jitsu is “the gentle art”. It’s “gentle” in that there is no striking (punching or kicking) involved. Jiu jitsu is a submission wrestling art that utilizes chokes and joint locks to help subdue opponents, even if they are much larger. Our Advanced classes alternate between upper body submission focuses and lower body focus from month-to-month.
