Beginner's Jiujitsu
Jiujitsu is a name referring to a style of fighting that literally translates to "art of softness" or "way of yielding." It was originally developed by feudal samurai as a means of overcoming an armored opponent without weapons. Since striking against hard surfaces was ineffective, the art focused on throws, pins, and locks to incapacitate adversaries.
We study Brazillian Jiujitsu, or BJJ, here out of our involvement with Mixed Martial Arts. BJJ focuses on grappling and locking, allowing smaller opponents to neutralize a larger, stronger attackers. With the longest-running BJJ history in the Gainesville area, we train under first-degree black belt, Professor Ryan Hodge of the Carlson Gracie team.
This program trains in the gi, or traditional uniform of Japanese martial arts. It also contains training without the gi. We recommend both practices to ambitious members who want to gain a complete understanding of the art for function and tradition.
Striking for Mixed Martial Arts
This is our introduction to the punching, kicking, and general striking game of Mixed Martial Arts(MMA). If MMA, boxing, and kickboxing are among your interests and you want to get your feet wet without a full plunge into full contact fighter training, this is for you. In this class you can expect instruction in footwork, evasion and dodging, punching, kicking, as well as strategy from boxing, muay thai, and technique from a variety of other arts we've picked up over the years.
