Youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Standalone MMA will teach you how to have a sold foundation in ground fighting skills. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be trained for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi), as an primary element of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or self-defense and fitness. Sparring (commonly refered to as “rolling”) and live drills play a major role in training. Drills also build agility, speed, strength and conditioning exercises.
There are many advantages to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. If your goal is to become a fighter or to be able to defend yourself, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu has significant advantages over most other martial arts. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was designed as a fighting style to defeat other martial arts, where styles like Boxing, Karate, Kung Fu, and Tae Kwon Do, all specialize in striking someone. None of them present solutions for someone who is pinned on the ground; conversely, Jiu-jitsu offers solutions for defending against striking attacks while standing, and on the ground, in addition to all methods of grappling attacks. Almost every fighter in the UFC supplements their training with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Many fighters who have a strong Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu background are very successful in the UFC.
