What is Jiu Jitsu?
Jiu-Jitsu is the science and art of controlling a resistant opponent through leverage, position, and technique.
The 4 Pillars of Jiu Jitsu
Take the opponent to the ground: This reduces their ability to generate explosive kinetic energy, making it harder for them to deliver powerful strikes.
Get past their legs: This neutralizes the threat of up-kicks or submissions like chokes from the guard.
Work through a hierarchy of pins: Progress through dominant positions (e.g., side control, mount, rear mount), graded by their potential to enable effective strikes or control.
Secure a submission: Apply a joint lock or choke to force the opponent to tap out.
Mushin is a space where BJJ beginners are welcomed, advanced practitioners are challenged, and every session is built on clarity, focus, and continuous growth.
