Self-Defense Technique | NJ United MMA

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is much more than the fancy Berimbolos and De la Riva guard sweeps that you see in the competition scene (although I love competition). It’s more than the slick guard passing and submissions that you see in the UFC and in other Mixed Martial Arts settings.

In order to earn a Black Belt in BJJ you have to have a solid understanding of the Self-Defense aspect of the art. At the end of the day if you don’t know self-defense, you don’t really know BJJ. Check out this video of our students practicing their headlock escapes during Sunday’s BJJ 101 class.
