WHY US!!

Why choose AJJ vs Other Martial Arts?

The experience that the system has developed is over 40 years of training in mutiple martioal arts !

This experience has produced techniques that brings to the student the Big ā€œEā€, effective.

From the beginning and through Black rank you recieive a hybridized system that goes to the real issue

of self-defense, without wasted motion in that sport systems that spend time in training, particularly ground fighting.

The AJJ system has all the fundamentals a student needs to give a student to be confident in the street, as well

sport competitive , if that is a direction you want

Practicing endless non-functionung drills that you would be reluctant, AS WELL AS DANGEROUS,

should be replaced with COUNTERING your opponent IMMEDIATELY to gain the upper han in a

REAL SITUATION !

We know being on the ground being attacked with a knife MUST BE AVOIDED, and this requires sa fighting position with

footwork and striking !

Each rank, Yellow, Orange, Purple, Blue, Green, Brown, Black, has required techniques that we believe is concentrated and that

Black rank can be accomplished within 24 to 30 months to be effective in the street.
