Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

This extremely effective martial art stepped into the light in the early 1990's when the Gracie family, who developed the style, established the Ultimate Fighting Championship. One of the youngest sons of Grandmaster Helio Gracie, Royce, used the family's techniques to defeat every opponent regardless of size, weight, or style.

The movements are based on leverage and positioning. Chokes, locks and a variety of other techniques are used to subdue an opponent or attacker. Because these techniques require very little strength, the art can be practiced by just about anyone.

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sessions provide an outstanding forum to learn and practice this fantastic art in a clean and safe environment. The curriculum is broken down and taught in detail so that students will have a deeper insight into the movements and style.

Our studio is a proud member of Team Balance Jiu-Jitsu in Philadelphia. Phil and Rick Migliarese are both Black Belts under the guidance of Relson Gracie and have a fantastic headquarters academy. Their constant encouragement and assistance is greatly appreciated.
