How does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu compare to other martial arts such as Karate, Kungfu, or Tae-Kwondo?
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is different from these arts, in that we emphasize groundwork, and they emphasize striking. In style versus style match ups known as challenge matches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners have been able to defeat pure strikers. This is proven in early UFC events (UFC’s 1-4), and in the documentary tape series Gracies In Action. At Elite BJJ, our members run the gamut from those who have no prior martial arts experience to those who are Black Belts in other arts, including owners of successful Karate schools. Everyone is welcome at Elite BJJ. What all of our students share in common is a great experience learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu together.
