Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Self Defence
The legendary Gracie family created and followed the original theory of ‘Gentle Art’, a new technique that used the principles of leverage, chokeholds and control positions (over simple power, size and strength requirements).
Before these theories, most people practiced punches and kicks that were far less accurate and when applied in ‘real fight situations’ left the majority of people on the ground unless they were in a very dominant ground position.
We use the teachings from the legendary Gracie family today at Southern Quarter.
