Gracie jiu-jitsu was developed by Grandmaster Helio and Carlos Gracie who modified traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu to make it one of the most practical and effective forms of self defense. Gracie Jiu Jitsu relies on the principles of leverage rather than size and strength. The Gracie family started the concept of a no-holds-barred competition to prove the effectiveness of jiu-jitsu against other less effective styles of self defense. These competitions revolutionized martial arts all over the world. Gracie jiu-jitsu training compliments the striking arts training because of the different ranges involved between the styles. Having both striking and jiu-jitsu will make you a complete martial artist ready to deal with almost any situation - where striking is not always the answer. At Triple Boxing, comprehensive Jiu Jitsu classes are offered daily for ages 12 and up. More individualized one-on-one or small-group or private classes can be arranged by appointment.
