Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is considered by many to be the ultimate grappling art; its practitioners have received worldwide acclaim for their success in mixed martial arts competition. Now the fastest-growing martial art in the world, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu owes it's popularity to its practicality. Students of this art learn in a straightforward, hands-on way that develops skill and confidence after just a few classes.

Practice focuses mainly on repetitions of sequences of Jiu-Jitsu techniques. There is little time spent on calisthenics; after a brief warm-up, the students get their exercise by performing the moves. The techniques are taught singly at first and then built into a practice sequence that encourages a natural flow of technical options. The class is taught in a non-competitive way, but Jiu-Jitsu offers a great opportunity for competition (Vermont Open Grappling Championship) for those who desire it.
