BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a highly effective close range grappling art that has totally changed the martial arts community over the last decade. Originating from traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, the art was developed and refined by the Gracie family of Brazil to focus on ground fighting techniques.

BJJ is a system that is designed to maximize leverage and body positioning to overcome larger, more powerful opponents. BJJ emphasizes the use of submission techniques such as chokes, cranks, and joint manipulations.


VALE TUDO OR MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Vale Tudo is a modern day art, in Portuguese meaning "anything goes". Vale Tudo takes the most effective combat techniques from styles such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Judo, Western Boxing, and Wrestling. The reason it is described as anything goes is because there are no rules.

Each one of these arts have something to offer, but it is the blending of them that is the essence of this unique fighting system. Vale Tudo's effectiveness has been proven in many arenas around the world, such as the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), Pride Fighting Championships, and various other Mixed Martial Arts competitions.
