Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Stock Martial Arts    

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than just learning how to fight. From its roots in judo, dating back to 1882, it has carried forward a unique philosophy: BJJ isn’t only a martial art. It’s also a sport, a powerful way to get in shape, a tool for building confidence and discipline, and ultimately, a lifestyle that can transform both body and mind.

what to expect

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on bringing an opponent to the ground, where grappling and submission techniques like joint locks and chokeholds come into play. The idea is simple: size and strength matter less on the ground. With the right technique, a skilled grappler can neutralize a stronger opponent by using leverage and mechanics instead of raw power.

BJJ also offers multiple ways to take the fight to the mat. While sports like wrestling or judo rely mainly on takedowns, BJJ includes the unique option to “pull guard.” This means securing a grip and then bringing the match to the ground—often by sitting back or wrapping the legs around the opponent—to set up control and submissions.
