Who we are
What is Jiu Jitsu?
JIU JITSU is a martial art and combat sport that teaches smaller people how to defend themselves against larger adversaries by using leverage and proper technique. The Gracie family from Brazil developed the art by modifying judo and traditional Japanese jujitsu to create the art. It contains stand-up techniques designed to bring the fight to the ground to gain superior positioning and leverage.
Once the position is controlled the Jiu Jitsu artist can implement devastating submissions, numerous chokes, and joint locking techniques where the opponent will “submit” or give up the fight.

Benefits of Jiu Jitsu:
LOSE WEIGHT
Many of our students have lost 6-20+ lbs in their first months here at the academy. Since the entire process is hugely interactive, you’re likely to burn more calories in one workout than most do in a week performing traditional routines.
BUILD CONFIDENCE
Confidence is involved in every aspect of our personal and professional lives. Being confident in the ability to defend yourself or perhaps a friend or loved one is an invaluable feeling.
LEARN SELF DEFENSE
Jiu Jitsu is a super power. I know that sounds like I am trying to sell you, but it is true. Knowing how to control another person without strikes and while defending strikes and nullifying a potential violent situation is absolutely priceless.
Competition
Although the vast majority of students practice Jiu Jitsu for health, fitness & self-defense. At Jiu Jitsu Modern we support students who want to test themselves under the pressure of competition.
One of the many things that make us different from most schools is that the owner/head instructor of Jiu Jitsu Modern, Carlos Rosado, is an active competitor and helps prepare his students from ages 4 to over 50 for success in competition. For Jiu Jitsu Modern children that want to compete, we offer free comp preparation classes for registered students leading up to the tournament.
