The application of
traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu transcends the application of chokes, joint locks,
immobilizations, throws, and strikes. Jiu-Jitsu is a way of life. Beyond
the mat, members of the bjj family live balanced, healthy lives based on the
same philosophy that governs their unique self-defense system. Grand Masters
Carlos and Helio Gracie believed that the principles of efficiency, patience,
and control held the key to success in all aspects of life.
