Safe Training Environment
At GRACIE JIU-JITSU ATHENS, AL® - STREET READY SELF DEFENSELLC safety is our number one priority. In far too many BJJ schools, the classes are structured to meet the needs of the most advanced, higher ranked students. If you are a beginner student, you are often expected to serve as a “grappling dummy” for those above you. The thought process is, if you avoid injury, and stick around long enough, you will eventually figure it out. At GRACIE JIU-JITSU ATHENS, AL® - STREET READY SELF DEFENSELLC we take the opposite approach, assuring you’ll have a chance to learn all the beginner techniques in a fully-cooperative environment, with like-minded training partners, for your first 8-12 months. Once you move on to the advanced program, and you begin sparring, you will have the benefit of working with training partners, of every skill level, who are working with you rather than against you. This culture of collaboration and mutual benefit is extremely rare in jiu-jitsu, and we go to great lengths to make sure it is upheld.
Street Readiness
When originally founded by Grand Masters Carlos and Helio Gracie in the early 1900’s, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu had only one purpose – effectiveness in real fights. Several decades later, when sportive competition was introduced and popularized throughout Brazil and the US, there was a distinct shift in training objectives at most BJJ schools, as more and more focus was placed on competing in point-based tournaments in order to win trophies/accolades for their school. Unfortunately, this shift in training objectives caused them to neglect the original self-defense aspect of jiu-jitsu, such that students could train for many years without ever learning how their grappling skills would apply against an actual striking opponent (not to mention an opponent who may very well be substantially bigger, heavier and stronger) in a real fight.
At GRACIE JIU-JITSU ATHENS, AL® - STREET READY SELF DEFENSELLC, street self-defense remains our top priority throughout all of our training programs. From your very first class, every technique you learn is specifically chosen for it’s high likelihood of being used, as well as it's proven effectiveness, in real combat. We believe it is critical that students of jiu-jitsu are aware of, and able to distinguish between, the very real differences in "street" versus "sport" jiu-jitsu before beginning their jiu-jitsu journey.
