THE “GENTLE” ART OF HUMAN CHESS
In Japanese, “Jiu Jitsu” translates to “Gentle Art.” It is a submission grappling style that continues to prove itself as the most effective form of self defense and ground fighting art. Using timing, leverage, and technique, smaller, less powerful practitioners can exhaust and eventually submit larger, stronger opponents. With roots in Japanese Judo, BJJ was nurtured in Brazil and popularized in the 90s when Royce Gracie submitted all of his opponents in the UFC. It is now a staple aspect of training regiments for law enforcement, military personnel, and professional MMA fighters worldwide. It is the best full body and mind workout on the planet, offering an unprecedented marriage of physical prowess, cunning, strategy, and endurance that will take your mind, body, and spirit to the next level!
At Primate Jiu Jitsu, our students step on the mats humble and hungry to learn. They leave the mats drenched in sweat, stronger, smarter, smiling, a little harder to kill, and overall as better versions of themselves!
BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU (BJJ)
When we train BJJ in the Gi (pronounced ghee), we have powerful grips at our disposal (i.e. on the collar, sleeves, belt, and pants) that allow us to establish an additional level of control against our opponent. They also introduce techniques and submission moves (collar chokes, for instance) that are not available in No-Gi BJJ (Submission Grappling).
Unlike a traditional martial arts kimono, the BJJ Gi is more durable and includes reinforced stitching in key areas like the knees and collar which allow it to endure constant grabbing, yanking, and pulling. A quality Jiu Jitsu Gi is designed to last for several years.
At Primate Jiu Jitsu, you don’t need to own a Gi on your first day. Come dressed in comfortable athletic attire and we will get you fitted out for a loaner Gi. We keep loaners on hand for prospect members, new students, and guests. We also have a stock of embroidered Primate BJJ Gis available for purchase when you decide to get your own.
Another thing that sets BJJ apart from Submission Grappling is the belt. The belt is the material representation of your Jiu Jitsu journey and is only worn in the Gi. All new BJJ practitioners begin as white belts. To read more about the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu belts and ranking system, please click here.
SUBMISSION GRAPPLING (NO-GI BJJ)
In Submission Grappling, we do not wear any special uniform. This version of the sport is often more fast-paced than its uniformed counterpart since we do not have grips to neutralize explosive movements or slippery escapes.
To attend your first Submission Grappling class, simply show up in comfortable athletic attire. Yoga pants, board shorts, rash guards, t-shirts, and compression shirts are all acceptable. Basketball shorts and jersey shorts are also fine as long as they don’t have pockets or zippers. We have Primate Jiu Jitsu rash guards, t-shirts, and shorts available for purchase at the gym.
TAKEDOWNS (JUDO & WRESTLING)
Learning the art of takedowns gives us a huge advantage in dictating how and when a fight or match goes to the ground. At Primate Jiu Jitsu, we regularly incorporate takedown techniques in both Gi and No-Gi classes. In the Gi we practice Judo-style takedowns while our No-Gi takedown classes are heavily influenced by wrestling techniques.
When we train takedowns in the Gi, we learn how to fight for advantageous grips and break threatening ones. Master the arts of pushing, pulling, and timing to off-balance and redirect your opponent’s momentum. Discover the thrill of launching beautiful throws with minimal effort, and enjoy the shock-absorbent Judo sub-floors hidden under the mats for a soft landing.
No-Gi Takedowns are designed to help students master their balance and develop explosive movements and impeccable timing in order to take opponents from standing positions to the ground. Learn how to shoot, shuck, sprawl, and more. Fight for advantageous grips and break threatening ones. Master the arts of pushing, pulling, and timing to off-balance and redirect your opponent’s momentum. Discover the thrill of launching beautiful throws with minimal effort, and enjoy the shock-absorbent Judo sub-floors hidden under the mats for a soft landing.
BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU AND SUBMISSION GRAPPLING
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Gi) / Submission Grappling (No-Gi) is the most effective form of self defense. Using timing, leverage, and technique, a smaller, less powerful practitioner can exhaust and eventually submit a larger, stronger opponent. It is a staple aspect of training regiments for law enforcement, military personnel, and professional MMA fighters worldwide. It is also the best full body and mind workout on the planet!
Our adult classes begin with a line-up and warm-ups. The instructor then demonstrates a series of techniques and students pair off to drill them. Towards the end of class, we roll. Rolling is a safe way for us to test our skills against fully resisting opponents without risking injury. New students are paired up with more experienced students for the best learning experience.
All you need for your first class is comfortable athletic clothing and a water bottle!
