Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
The Core of instruction at Madama Jiu-Jitsu is Traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art developed by the Gracie family in Brazil over 50 years ago. Professor Josh Madama learned much of the art from Renzo Gracie, grandson of the founder, and his first American black belts, Matt and Nick Serra.
We have Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for every level of student. We have Beginner’s classes (no experience needed), Kids classes (5-14 years old), and Advanced classes.
No Gi Jiu-Jitsu
No Gi Jiu-Jitsu is closely related to Traditional Brazilian jiu-Jitsu, but it is practiced without the gi.
No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is often called Submission Grappling. Submission Grappling came into prominence in 1998 after the Abu Dhabi Combat Club started an annual tournament that looked for the best submission grapplers in the world.
Madama Jiu-Jitsu has always had submission grappling classes, but only for advanced students. Starting in the Summer of 2010, we also have classes for the Beginners and Kids.
