Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, also known as BJJ, is a self-defense-based martial art developed to aid a smaller, weaker individual in defending themselves against a bigger, stronger, and faster aggressor. BJJ utilizes a system of joint locks and chokes to subdue an opponent through the proper use of leverage and technique. The classes are founded on an encouraging, friendly atmosphere. Our instructors care about each member’s safety and fitness progress. Our team of instructors and staff takes pride in an easy-to-follow curriculum that allows each student to take ownership of their own progress.

FAQs
Do I need to be strong, flexible, and in good shape for BJJ?
No. You do not need to be strong, flexible, or in particularly good shape to start Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. By practicing Jiu-jitsu, you will most certainly improve your strength, flexibility, and conditioning (plus balance, coordination, and more), but you do not need to have those traits to begin with. Disclaimer: Doctors’ recommend anyone who starts any strenuous activity, including Brazilian Jiu-jitsu; receive a physical examination to ensure they can safely participate in the program’s activities.
What do I wear for practice or to train BJJ?
Students are required to wear a gi (sometimes called a kimono) during training. However, if you are in your free trial classes, you can wear any comfortable sweatpants or shorts, and a t-shirt.
Is BJJ safe?
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a very safe sport. Here at Tiger Martial Arts Fitness Academy our friendly mat etiquette, cleanliness, curriculum design, practice process, and instruction methods all ensure safety is first.
Is BJJ good exercise?
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is one of the best workouts you can get, and it provides far better results than a typical aerobic workout. It is also much more fun and interactive than most exercise programs, so you end up working out more and harder. Many people practice it primarily for the health/exercise benefits, which increase muscle tone and reduce body fat while improving your balance, coordination, cardio vascular capacity, and muscular endurance.
Who can/should do BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is for everyone, regardless of sex or age. BJJ is designed for the smaller, weaker person to allow him or her to defend themselves against larger, stronger attackers. In that way, BJJ is perfectly suited for everyone.
