Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a self-defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling (ne-waza or ground fighting) and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using several techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was mainly developed around 1920 by Brazilian brothers Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastão Jr., George, and Hélio Gracie, after Carlos Gracie was taught traditional Kodokan Judo by a travelling Japanese judoka, Mitsuyo Maeda, in 1917. Later they were going to develop their own self-defense system named Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
Summit linage: Helio Gracie, Rickson Gracie, Pedro Sauer. Summit Martial Arts was one of the first schools Ohio and the Midwest, approved to teach Brazilian Jiujitsu.
BJJ revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground, and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling and in self-defense situations. Sparring, commonly referred to as "rolling" within the BJJ community, and live drilling plays a major role in training and the practitioner's development. BJJ can also be used as a method of promoting physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.
Kyoshi Charles Riedmiller has 46 yrs experience in Kodokan Judo, Aiki Jujitsi, Aikido, and 23yrs experience in Gracie Brazilian JiuJitsu
