Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that
focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of
gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to
force an opponent to submit. It promotes the principle that a smaller,
weaker person using the appropriate amount of leverage and proper
technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger,
stronger attacker. This class is for all levels of experience from
beginner to advanced and is for male and female students 16+.

Karate is a method of unarmed combat where
practitioners learn to use their arms, legs and entire body to defend
themselves against a spontaneous attack. The goal of Karate-Do is to
condition and train the mind and body to act with self control, humility
and calm judgement. The basic techniques of Taisabaki (evasive body
shifting), Kata (pre-arranged forms) and other training methods will be
covered in this practical style of Karate.
