Judo—the Gentle Way

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for Adults & Teens

5-12

JAN 4

It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend himself against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique — most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or as self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as ‘rolling’) and live drilling play a major role in training and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition.

Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed by Morihei Ueshiba often referred to by his title ‘O Sensei’ or ‘Great Teacher’. On a purely physical level it is an art involving throws, joint locks and other techniques that are derived from Jujitsu and throws derived from Kenjutsu. Aikido focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you. It is not a static art, but places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement. In Japan, a nation of many martial arts, Aikido is the one chosen for instruction to the elite Tokyo Metropolitan Riot Police and Secret Police.
