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!
