Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport focusing on ground fighting and submission holds. It emphasizes using leverage, technique, and timing to control and submit opponents, often with minimal reliance on strength. Practitioners learn to defend against larger or stronger adversaries by using efficient movements and strategic positioning. BJJ is well-known for its effectiveness in self-defense and mixed martial arts (MMA).
Here at UCF, we try to make BJJ accessible to everyone. Our free classes teach a variety of levels from people who have never stepped on the mat to competitors. Thanks to our easy to join program, we have quickly progressed to the largest sports club at UCF while never charging dues.
