No. Jiu Jitsu was developed with every body type in mind. In fact the art prides itself in its ability to help a smaller weaker person overcome and defend themselves against a larger stronger opponent. While training you will become healthier and in better shape. It is always advisable to consult a doctor before starting any exercise program.
Students range from ages 4 years old to 70+. It is never to late to learn something new!
No. Tournaments and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) are not for everyone. Training within our school we feel confident that club members will learn how to defend themselves without the need to be in competition. As all schools do, we encourage those who desire to compete to do so and often. By no means is competition a requirement.
We believe that all martial arts provide a level of self-defense. However, we also know that the majority of self-defense situations end up on the ground. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most complete and effective ground fighting and self-defense art today. Unlike other martial arts who are cemented in old practices and unable to adapt to new situations, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is ever developing and changing to suit the situation and need. From MMA, to Street Defense, to Sport Jiu Jitsu all have unique and mailable ways of suiting the art to the student and their ability or need.
