Jiu-Jitsu Is A Reality Based Training Program

Since Jiu-jitsu focuses on ground fighting, it emphasizes takedowns, ground control, takedown defense, and submissions. At Olson's Martial Arts Academy, well-trained instructors teach students of all ages and skill levels the right and most effective ways to use the art of Jiu-jitsu when engaging in combat. The advantages of a strong opponent, who could deliver more powerful strikes with superior reach, are neutralized when he or she is on the ground, clenched in an unbreakable and often unbearably painful hold. The sport of jiu-Jitsu is built upon leveraging the strength of an adversary to his or her disadvantage, unlike traditional Judo which relies primarily on strength of the practitioner.

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is a great way to improve your fitness and conditioning!

Every class at [siitename] has a strong emphasis on conditioning, and the Jiu-Jitsu program offers the most complete full-body workout of them all. The movements and techniques can sometimes be challenging because you’ve got to move your own weight around on the ground, as well as the weight of another person. We have our students practice specially-designed drills to help you with these movements, and many of them are cardio-intensive.

Fitness training is an integral part of every class. In order to learn a technique properly, you must test it out for yourself, so free-rolling (sparring) is an important part of your development in Jiu-Jitsu. This requires the right level of conditioning, and we prepare you for that with our cardio-intensive drills and conditioning specific exercises.
