Collingwood Martial Arts Centre - Learn Tae Kwan Do

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Collingwood Martial Arts

It has been said that there is a time and a place for everything. There is a time to defend yourselfThat's why Tae Kwon Do has been supplemented by an available Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program at Collingwood Martial Arts.

In a stand up self defense situation Tae Kwon Do provides the knowledge and training to deal with an attack, but what happens if the fight goes to the ground? Imagine your attacker pushes you down and indends to harm you while you are in this vulnerable position. The answer can be found in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a method of fighting an opponent on the ground using leverage and positioning of your body to effectively control your opponent so that they cannot attack you, but you can attack them. In fact it's quite possible that a smaller person can defeat a much larger opponent by placing them in a position where their joints are vulnerable to breaking or dislocation.

While the self defense benefits are well documented and very important, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can also be an excellent low impact workout that tones your body and improves strength and flexibility. It's accessible to everyone! You don't need to be an ultimate fighter or super athlete. But you might be surprised what an athlete you become! You may also be surprised at how much fun it is!

About Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was born out of Japanese jiu-Jitsu as the Japanese practicioner Mitsuo Maeda came to Brazil to help settle Japanese colonies in the country. His friendship with the Gracie family in Brazil led them to develop and perfect techniques that made the jiu-Jitsu uniquely brazilian.

So what makes it Brazilian jiu-Jitsu as opposed to traditional Japanese jiu-Jitsu? It's simply an increased emphasis on grappling groundwork. Since the United States FBI has reported that 95% of all real hand to hand combat situations end up on the ground, It's easy to see why the emphasis is on ground work. Not only does it emphasize defending against and defeating an attacker on the ground, it provides tools that allow smaller sized people to defeat larger opponents.
