What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that uses grappling and submissions rather than striking. Jiu Jitsu isn’t about strength; it is about leverage, momentum, balance and pressure. When these skills are refined and combined with proper technique, you can overtake a much larger opponent. One can train Jiu Jitsu as a sport, for competition or tournaments, or simply to stay in shape. It can be practiced with a Gi or NoGi, and it is a part of Mixed Martial Arts.

Benefits of Jiu jitsu

Benefits of
Jiu jitsu

Self-defense

Jiu jitsu focuses on techniques that allow a smaller, weaker person to defend against a larger opponent, making it useful for self-defense.

Physical fitness

Regular jiu-jitsu training improves cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and strength, all of which contribute to overall fitness, well-being, and a heightened sense of self-confidence.

Discipline

Learning and mastering jiu jitsu techniques requires discipline and concentration, which helps practitioners improve their focus and mental clarity.

Community

Jiu jitsu cultivates a sense of community among its practitioners. Training with others fosters bonds, mutual respect, and a supportive environment.

Our
mission

Our mission is to enhance our students’ lives through jiu jitsu by making them more confident, skilled, fit, and controlled. We do this by providing high quality jiu jitsu instruction that encourages high personal standards, develops a solid foundation in self defense and physical fitness, and models integrity, respect, and self control.

Dr. William O'Donnell
This is my 4th jiu jitsu gym I’ve been a part of now. Esoteric has the best class structure organized to get the most out of every class, incorporating wrestling, drilling, positional rounds, and regular rounds in every class. They have a very well thought out curriculum working on specific positions and all the different options from them for two weeks at a time. There’s plenty of mat space where you don’t have to worry about other people. Jamie and Angela have also set up a great environment in the gym for both hobbyists and competitors. Everyone is friendly and I’ve improved a ton since joining.
