Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is known as “the gentle art,” but its techniques are powerful tools for real-world self-defense. In this 30-minute introductory seminar, you’ll learn how leverage and technique can neutralize a stronger opponent, how to stay safe in common street scenarios, and why BJJ is one of the most effective martial arts for personal protection.
No prior experience is required — just bring comfortable workout clothes and an open mind. Whether your goal is confidence, fitness, or peace of mind, this class is the perfect first step on your BJJ journey.

Learn the art of calm control. In this focused workshop we break down the mata leão (rear-naked choke) from first principles — safe setup, iron-tight mechanics, escape prevention, and ethical application in sport and self-defense. You’ll move from nervous curiosity to confident control with simple drills, partner flow, and pressure-tested transitions from back control to finish.
Perfect for beginners and competitive students alike: no ego, just technique. Bring comfortable clothes, an open mind, and a commitment to practice with care. Walk away with a repeatable sequence you can use in training and a deeper understanding of when the choke is the right — and responsible — choice
