What We Teach In Fort Collins, Colorado
We teach Brazilian jiu jitsu and judo. Jiu jitsu is a self-defense based martial art that encourages the use of leverage, timing and technique. Jiu jitsu combines the use of takedowns, throws, ground grappling including the use of joint locks/manipulations and chokes to defend yourself in Fort Collins. One of the fundamental concepts of jiu jitsu is for its practitioner to be resourceful by using their physical attributes to their maximum efficiency and effectiveness to defend themselves. It also encourages using an opponent’s energy and motion against them.
Judo is a close cousin to jiu jitsu. Judo incorporates throwing techniques, ground control, joint locks and chokes to defend yourself as well as using your opponents energy against them.
