Welcome to Stringo BJJ !

With the wide-spread success of Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and the growing popularity of Jiu-Jitsu as a competitive sport, the once classical martial of Japan, Jujitsu, has seen a resurgence in popularity and acceptance. A hybrid or modified form of Judo, Jiu-Jitsu follows many of the same principles and utilizes many of the same techniques that competitive Judo does. However, where Judo places strong emphasis on successful and controlled execution of throws and take-downs, using ground based grappling and submission techniques only as a follow up in the occurrence of failed take-down, contemporary Jiu-Jitsu focuses on developing a technical and adverse set of skills based on pinning, movement and submission techniques on both standing and non-standing opponents.
