Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the most dynamic and effective martial arts systems in the world. At Ann Arbor Martial Arts Center you can learn all of the little known secrets of Brazilain Jiu-Jitsu in a safe, clean and relaxed atmosphere. Today, there is not a single professional mma fighter who does not consider ground work a critical component to heir success in winning a fight. According to police statistics 8 out of 10 physical confrontations end up on the ground. The goal of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is to use leverage to control and submit your opponent. Submissions include joint locks, chokes, and superior positions from which to strike. Even a basic understanding of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can dramatically increase your confidence and ability to defend yourself on the ground, where so many confrontations end.

At Ann Arbor Martial Arts Center, we train with the Machado Creed, “Leave your ego at the door.” The art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is continuously growing. That is why it is important to keep an open mind, humble attitude and try to learn in every training session. Are students strive to be winners on the mat, but more importantly champions in life. Safety is a priority in every class and students with bad attitudes are asked to train elsewhere.
