Elementum Jiu-Jitsu

The gentle art

Jiu-Jitsu

Jiu-Jitsu means “Gentle Art” in Japanese , is a grappling martial arts system with a rich history. It began with monks in India, traveled through China, and evolved further in Japan before being introduced to Brazil. In Brazil, it was transformed into what we now know as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) a revolutionary approach designed to help smaller and weaker individuals control and submit larger, stronger opponents through skill, leverage, and strategy.

At Elementum Jiu-Jitsu, we celebrate all aspects of the Gentle Art, offering a space where students of all ages and goals can grow, learn, and thrive.

Discover Your Superpower

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a sport or martial art—it’s a lifestyle that sparks a superpower within you. Through consistent practice, BJJ instills confidence and courage, transforming how you view and handle life’s challenges. It strengthens not only your body but also your emotional resilience, empowering you to tackle situations with clarity and poise like never before.

When you embrace BJJ, you’ll find that the lessons on the mat extend far beyond training. It teaches you discipline, patience, and problem-solving while cultivating a powerful sense of self-belief.

The Branches of the Gentle Art

Self-Defense

Self-defense is the foundation of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Here, students learn essential concepts such as balance, base, leverage, and distance management. Beyond technique, it’s about developing emotional control in a safe and supportive environment. This is where confidence begins to grow, both on and off the mats.

No-GI Submission Grappling

No-Gi grappling blends elements of various martial arts and grappling systems, maintaining the essence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It is practiced without the traditional Gi, using a rashguard, shorts, or spats. This fast-paced and dynamic style sharpens reflexes and adaptability, making it a favorite for both sport and self-defense enthusiasts.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

In this branch, practitioners wear the traditional Gi (or Kimono) and focus on techniques such as takedowns, control, and submissions through joint locks and chokes. For lifestyle or for Competitions. This typically involves a points system and time limits, adding a strategic element to the art. Whether training for fitness, mastery, or competition, Gi BJJ is a rewarding path.

BJJ For MMA

This branch adapts Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). It focuses on controlling and submitting opponents in high-pressure scenarios, blending BJJ with striking and other martial arts for comprehensive effectiveness.
