Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art and combat sport. It has become a staple art in mixed martial arts and is largely credited for bringing widespread attention to the importance of ground fighting.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be practiced for self-defense, sport, and fitness.

Students of Ryer Martial Arts Academy's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program are introduced to the wide variety of maneuvers and counters to manipulate the opponent into a dominant position on the ground. Students spend considerable practice effectively learning to use the guard position to defend oneself from bottom, passing the guard to dominate from top position, and using side control, mount, and back mount positions.

Training methods in our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program include technique drills, isolation sparring, and full sparring. Sparring, commonly referred to as "rolling", plays a major role in training.
