Teen and Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Amerikick BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Brooklyn is a grappling art that was popularized in America by the legendary Gracie family. Jiu-Jitsu concentrates on dominating your opponent by using angles, leverage, and superior body positioning to control an opponent’s body movement. A person that has a superior position is in a better situation to apply a finishing hold or to start striking. This style allows for a smaller person to defeat a much larger attacker. Jiu-Jitsu is excellent for women who are often taken to the ground during assaults. We recommend this style for men and women looking for a great workout and realistic self-defense.










Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is similar and, in some cases, both supplementary and complementary to the Olympic Sport of Judo. In our curricula, we believe that it is not only important to control our opponent on the ground, but also on our feet. Therefore, we have taken the proactive approach of marrying the arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Sambo and Submission Wrestling.

All our programs start with a $20 evaluation course which includes 1 private lesson and 1 group class. We would like to make sure that the participants are comfortable and enjoy our program before enrolling. We would also like to evaluate the participant to make sure that he/she is physically ready for our program! To book an appointment, please call or Click here to register on line!


 

 

Best Kept Secret in Brooklyn

By Todd.

You'll hear a lot about the karate programs at Amerikick locations and they are great, but the best kept secret is Amerikick's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). The instructor is excellent - trains with some of the best BJJ practitioners in the world and competes professionally. Most important though, each student gets plenty of individual attention as everyone works to perfect specific techniques. It is a relaxed atmosphere and no matter if you are new to BJJ or working towards your black belt, you will definitely have fun.
