Studies show that most fights end up on the ground; Brazilian Jiu Jitsu provides the right training to survive on the ground.
It is an ideal art for women, men, and children and gives the skills for a smaller weaker person to defeat a larger stronger more aggressive person. It is a rigorous workout that will strengthen you physically, mentally, and emotionally.
The main benefits you'll experience by training in BJJ at Pacific Martial Arts include: Competition experience, fitness, respect, discipline, focus, concentration, personal growth and self-defense skills.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (meaning "gentle discipline") emphasizes technique, position, angles, and leverage as opposed to strength to bring an opponent to the ground to force them to submit.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu stands apart from other martial arts through its practical effectiveness and emphasis on technique over strength.
Our BJJ classes will teach you how leverage and strategy can overcome size and athleticism. This is exactly what makes it the perfect martial art for anyone, regardless of fitness level or physical attributes.
