Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (“BJJ”) is one of Journey Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s core training programs. The premise of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that a smaller, weaker person can defeat a stronger and larger opponent, through leverage and proper technique. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is primarily a ground-fighting art, where the practitioner’s train in a gi or “kimono”. This is similar to what is worn in Judo.

The techniques involve the students on the mat, with a heavy emphasis on positional control, strategy, drills, and live rolling, to help with your submissions and techniques. Once in proper position, many different types of submissions can be applied such as: armbars, wrist locks, chokes, and leg locks. Some of the primary positions include, but not limited to are: Guard, Mount, Side-Control, Back Mount, and so on.
