The vast majority of our members start training in Jiu Jitsu for the first time at university.

Received the Gracie BullyProof DVDs yesterday evening and I spent four hours stright watching them. I was so amazed at how much fun the kids were having. Thank you for putting together a very important training tool for our youngsters. You can see that they are excited, eager to learn and they are soaking in the info like a sponge.

First let me say that this was a great idea! For years, I have admired the great work of your family in the martial arts and with the proliferation of Gracie Jujitsu, within the UFC and without. This is great!!!”The 32 Principles are Natural Laws of Jiu-Jitsu. We did not invent them. We just identified them and organized them into a systematic curriculum so they can be learned by any Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, regardless of rank or current ability.

The most common reason for difficulty with a technique is that you simply overlooked an essential detail. Watch the lesson one or two more times to ensure that you have learned every detail. Most BJJ schools limit new students to one free trial class. We offer new students a 10-day free trial that includes unlimited access to all of our beginner group classes for a full 10 days. We’re confident that the curriculum, the camaraderie, and quality of the instruction will exceed all your expectations. If that’s not the case, just let us know, and we will never charge you for the classes you took. Grand Master Helio Gracie was introduced to the Japanese art of jiu-jitsu by his brother, Carlos, at such a young age that, as time passed, he no longer remembered many of the techniques in their original form. However, he vividly recalls experiencing great difficulty when he attempted to use the techniques on a larger opponent and, as a result, had to modify nearly everything he had learned to accommodate his frail physique. He points out that, despite the overall effectiveness and value of the Japanese techniques, nearly all of them had one or more limitations that prevented them from being fully useful to him. In most cases, he attributed the limitations to: 1) inapplicability against a striking opponent in a real fight, 2) over-reliance on strength or speed, and/or 3) dependence on body movements that were awkward or uncomfortable for him. Accordingly, he began modifying the art to ensure that every technique was fully street applicable, energy efficient, and based on natural body movements. Using these principles as a guide, he spent several years developing a complete system of self-defense consisting only of techniques that he could successfully apply against larger opponents. Confident in his adaptations, he spent the next thirty years of his life proving his system’s effectiveness by using it to defeat numerous challengers, including several opponents who outweighed him by as much as 100 pounds. I think there are really only a handful of bjj books I would recommend but Jiu-Jitsu University is for sure one of them.Ego-Less Training: Training injuries are most likely to occur when you are practicing with someone who is more concerned with victory than with safety. By learning online and training with a select group of trusted friends and family members, you avoid the tough-guy, egocentric environment that is so commonly associated with mixed martial arts.

You will find detailed and pertinent replies to some of the most searching questions. This insightful read looks deep into the world of martial arts. Traditionally, instructors (including us) expose their students to thousands of techniques over several years with the expectation that, at some point, they will “figure out” what the principles are. The problem is that most students “drown” in techniques for years, and never decipher the principles with any degree of significance. The Zen Jiu Jitsu series consists of five books exploring many facets of jiu jitsu including how to train for 40 year olds, competitive psychology for BJJ and more.
