Adults Jiu Jitsu
Anyone and everyone can benefit from our adult Jiu Jitsu training. You may ask – Why American Jiu Jitsu instead of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Well, as BJJ has established the art, American Jiu Jitsu has adapted and taken the lessons learned and grown them where it can.
Benefits of Jiu Jitsu
Following Universal Concepts of Jiu Jitsu
We teach universal grappling principles in adult Jiu Jitsu, like distance, connection, pressure, and establishing a base. Once you learn these key fundamentals, you can apply them to any position or scenario.
Designated Winner Philosophy
Have you heard of the Designated Winner philosophy? If not, it is a style of learning new moves that differ from traditional moves. We allow students to take concepts and to build off them in their own way. It is a universal concept that was started at HeadNod!
