Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu |
Grappling by definition as a Martial Art, is any style or mix of styles
that comprises techniques that rely on grabbing and controlling the
opponent using body leverage as a way of achieving the supremacy through
throws and take downs, pins and submissions, as opposed to the “striking”
martial arts. At Rio Grappling we extensively train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as
well as Judo and Wrestling as we believe these styles blend
together very nicely and compliment each other in our pursuit of
excellence. |
We mainly focus on the grappling styles as we believe them to be more refined and less
dangerous to one’s health than the striking ones. One can train in a safer way when grappling, without going
back home with bruises, injuries and black eyes caused by intentional
blows. No martial art is totally free from accidental injuries, but
grappling styles tend to minimize them by smart training and use of mats
and other protection and prevention from excessive force during
sparring. |

JiuJitsu has an unlimited number of moves and counter-moves and is an ongoing test of your skill, knowledge and creative thinking against your opponent. It is often likened to a game of chess. ‘It’s not just about your reflexes and physical ability but being able to think a few moves ahead and outsmart your opponent. |
