about bjj
Jiu-jitsu in translation from Japanese means the gentle art. The martial art uses leverage, momentum, pressure and refined technique to take one's adversary to the ground and control and subdue them if necessary.
The practical self defense system was specifically designed to enable a physically smaller individual to efficiently and effectively protect themselves against a larger and stronger attacker. Thus, it is uniquely suited for children (ages 6 & up), teens, women and men of all sizes. Anyone and everyone can participate.
Through continued refinement and direct application in real life self defense scenarios - bjj is a proven and complete martial art.

WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SEUNG-NI BJJ
"I first heard about bjj from a podcast. Funny how life goes. This Ex Navy Seal guy was saying 'hey you want to improve your life, your body, your confidence, your perspective, your future - then start bjj - don't think about it - just do it!' I googled up Seung-ni. Scheduled my first lesson. And began my journey. Thanks Jocko you were right."

ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to be in good shape, strong and flexible to begin bjj? Not at all. By training in bjj you will certainly increase your strength, flexibility and overall fitness, but you do not need those traits to start practicing the art.
Am I too old to learn bjj? No. Anyone at any age can do bjj. At Seung-ni our students range in age from 6 up into their 60's.
Do I have to compete? No. The majority of students in bjj do not compete. Most people train simply for the great self defense, fitness and life style benefits of the art. Of course, competition can be a great way to set goals and to challenge yourself. So if you decide later you would like to go to a tournament our instructors are happy to help with that as well.
Is bjj safe? Brazilian Jiu-jistu is a very safe sport, and safety is a core principle at the Seung-ni Academy. Our mat etiquette, curriculum structure, practice procedures and instruction manner all ensure safety first.
