    What is Jiujitsu?

    Jiujitsu is a martial art or combat sport that emphasizes grappling and ground fighting. Derived from Judo, it’s about using technique and leverage to defend against bigger opponents.

    Jiujitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger attacker by using proper technique, leverage, and grappling strategy.

    This is what makes Jiujitsu so effective compared to other martial arts.

    Renzo Gracie Lakeway Jiujitsu Frequently Asked Questions

    Not at all! Jiu-jitsu is for everyone, regardless of fitness level. Training consistently will improve your strength, endurance, and flexibility over time.

    If you don’t have a gi, wear athletic clothing like a rash guard and shorts (no zippers or pockets). We have loaner gis available for trial classes.
    No experience? No problem! Everyone was a complete beginner once so we all understand the importance of bringing along our new students.
    We recommend 2-3 classes per week to start but we always suggest if you can fit more into your schedule, do it! We currently have beginners who train as little as 1-2x a week as well as some others who come in much more often.
    The best way to find out for yourself, is to take advantage of our limited time offer. You’ll find our team so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves. Book in now! You will be glad you did!
