Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

At Riverdale Martial Arts you’ll get a great workout and learn an amazing martial art.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling style with no strikes. Instead, the focus is on learning how to close distance and use holds and locks to subdue an opponent.

BJJ allows you to train at varying degrees of intensity from very light all the way to a self defence like scenario in which an attacker is very aggressive. If you have any limitations, training can and will be adjusted to gradually build you up so you can tackle increasingly difficult challenges.

BJJ is often referred to as “human chess” because of how complex it can be. It’s stimulates your mind as well as your body.
