What is Jiu-Jitsu?
Jiu-Jitsu is the most complete and efficient martial art known today for a weaker person to defend him or herself against a stronger aggressor. Jiu-Jitsu is the art of flexibility, adaptability, pliancy, and astuteness. It characterizes the triumph of human intelligence over brute strength. Hélio Gracie’s Jiu-Jitsu is a complete self-defense system that will prepare you to defend yourself against a potential life threatening assault. It emphasizes simple movements, practical techniques, and realistic scenarios. The practice of Jiu-Jitsu affords an ideal means for the cultivation not only of great physical endurance, and of bodily and mental alertness in swift adaptation to an ever changing situation, but also of the moral qualities of perseverance, steadfastness of purpose, concentration, cool judgment and presence of mind to cope with an emergency.
