| Neutral Grounds Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy A Royce Gracie Network in LongBeach, CA. established in 2004. Royce Gracie is the son of founder of Brazilian/Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Helio Gracie. BJJ, or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, changed the world of fighting when Royce defeated multiple opponents, much heavier, with no time-limit, all in the same night in UFC 1,2, and 3.It showed the fighting world the importance of this discipline against other disciplines, which used strength rather than technique. Not only did Helio want to present this art to the fighting world, but he wanted to emphasize the importance of it in the real world of self defense. The Gracies teach world-wide in military and law enforcement and US military incorporated this art to it's doctrine. Jiu Jitsu has many faces, it is used differently in different situations. It can be used standing up or on the ground. Since it is is innate for us to strike, we must also learn how to defend ourselves once we are on the ground. In most real life attack situations the attacker forces their prey onto the ground. Most will panic. This is why we MUST LEARN TO fight and defend on the ground. There are basically two forms of Jiu Jitsu, sports and self defense. If you are someone who is involved with law enforcement this art is perfect for controlling when arresting someone. Jiu JItsu works really sufficiently when someone is fighting back to resist and is in close quarters. Other situations would be an airplane pilot or flight attendant. These are some examples of where self defense Jiu Jitsu can be used. If you are someone who loves sports and tournaments, "Sports Jiu Jitsu", is a great way to get in shape. |
