The main reason many of us started training BJJ, the main reason most people start training in any martial art, is for self-defense. When it comes to your personal defense here in Clearwater, or anywhere else, nothing rises to the occasion like the gentle art of Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense because of the infinite variety of takedowns, chokes, and joint locks that can be used to defend your life, not to mention the lives of your friends and loved ones here in Clearwater and abroad.
