The OTA 5-7 yr old team schedule is now released and we play at 4pm on Saturday 4/18 at the Toby Wells YMCA.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), developed by the Gracie family and made famous in events like The Ultimate Fighting Championship, is one of the most respected and effective martial arts in the world today. Its real-world effectiveness has led to its acceptance and implementation by all branches of the US Military, local and national law enforcement, Air Marshals and military forces from around the world.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not based on strength or athleticism; its effectiveness comes from the use of an opponent’s strength, force and aggression against themselves. The student learns how to use leverage and body positioning to defend themselves in virtually any close quarters attack or assault. Since most real-world confrontations end up on the ground, BJJ concentrates on grappling positions including the “Guard”, “Mount” and “Side Control”. These positions allow the student to apply a variety of strikes, chokes, joint locks, pins and escapes with the most effective leverage-based techniques possible.
Blue Ribbon!
