Martial Arts
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes in Philadelphia
The main philosophy behind Jiu-Jitsu is to learn to avoid the unnecessary use of
strength. You learn instead to dominate an opponent through the application
of techniques such as sweeps, joint locks, or strangles, and force them to quit(submit). By employing the techniques taught in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a smaller person, male or female, can face a much larger, stronger opponent and actually dominate and control them. Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at Maxercise incorporates self defense, submission grappling, & Judo, making it great for the recreational student who wants to train for fun and exercise; or for the motivated athlete who would like to join our world class competition team.
