Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 101

At Centreville Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Centreville, VA we take martial arts and the art of self-defense and teach it in a non-threatening and educational way that creates positive results for beginners. It can be a little intimidating for beginners as everything they learn is new. Our instructors are experts in leading a beginner by the hand and making it seem less threatening.

Our training emphasizes self-defense and focuses on grappling, ground fighting and a variety of submission holds to subdue an opponent. They take time to learn, and there’s a staggering number of techniques, such as sweeps, locks, chokes, pins, escapes and guard passes which can be overwhelming at first. Our instructors understand and take it slow for beginners. They repeat their processes, provide plenty of mat time and step in to help the beginner get the feel for Jiu Jitsu.

Beginners will learn how to fall without getting hurt, guard recovery, bridging and hip escapes, scissor sweeps, breaking your opponent’s balance, controlling grips, using the power of your legs instead of your upper body, cross collar chokes, armlocks, roll escape, and many more techniques.

Beginners learn much more than moves and holds. They learn the art of the sport, the discipline, history, tradition, etiquette, respect, self-control, body control. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu affects more than your body – it tunes your mind and unmasks your spirit. Learning Jiu Jitsu has a life changing and life-long positive affect.
