Self Defense – All Levels (M/W AM)
9:00 am - 10:00 am
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a Japanese Martial art form that was taught to the Gracie family in Brazil way back in the 1900s. It is a gentler form of Judo and the most effective Martial Art in the world. It teaches practitioners to discover inner strength and use that strength to defend against opponents, even though they are bigger and stronger. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is used for fitness, self-defence, building character and as a sport.
At Gracie Barra Clearwater we believe martial arts are a powerful tool in helping individuals discover their inner strength. Our mission is to provide a clean, safe, mutually supportive environment to our students so that they can become proficient in one of the most effective and respected martial arts in the world, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Many of our students were tired of going to the gym, and they couldn’t find new songs or audio books to entertain them on the treadmill. They found Jiu-Jitsu to be the perfect workout because it requires a high level of concentration proportional to the amount of calories burned and pounds lost. What’s more, you’ll still learn to defend yourself. It’s a win-win situation.
