Self Defense
True Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not a sport as such. The essence of BJJ as conceived by Grand Master Helio was rooted entirely in self-defense. This unique system offers a person the ability to defend themselves against an attacker, regardless of size or strength, by using the key principles of timing, technique, and leverage.
Through proper understanding and application of the core principles and concepts taught by Professor Carlos, you will begin to see how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enables and empowers people to face their fears both on and off the training mat. It is the transition and application of these principles to your everyday life that makes BJJ so much more than a sport, a system of self-defense, or even an art; it is very much a way of life.
