Wesley Chapel Jiu-Jitsu

Wesley Chapel Jiu-Jitsu teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). BJJ is a self-defense that is known as the gentle martial art, because striking isn’t the primary option in defending yourself. The primary objective of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is defending yourself by controlling and submitting an opponent. It doesn’t matter if the person is bigger or stronger than you, because you will learn how to use leverage, grips, positions, joint manipulations, chokes and other submission techniques to take advantage of their weaknesses.

Altercations usually start standing up, but up to 95% of fights end up on the ground. You will learn standing self-defense and how to take an adversary to the ground. Karate, Taekwondo and boxing and other standing self-defenses don’t know how to fight on the ground. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specializes in controlling, subduing and submitting people on the ground. You will have the option to end the fight with whatever level severity is necessary.

How to Pick the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Studio for You

How do I know which Jiu-Jitsu studio is right for me or my family?

If a gym talks about tournaments, then it’s probably more “sport jiu-jitsu” vs self-defense jiu-jitsu. There’s nothing wrong with tournament jiu-jitsu and many of our students do them, but there many things you can do in a tournament that you would never do in a real street fight situation. Wesley Chapel Jiu-Jitsu focuses on self-defense jiu-jitsu, which includes standing and ground self-defense. A lot of gyms don’t do standing self-defense, which is in essential defending yourself.

What’s the vibe of gym like?

In other words was the studio friendly and a safe environment or did it feel intimidating and I may get pummeled as you try to learn jiu-jitsu. We highly suggest doing some research and reading online reviews on Google, Facebook and Yelp. You might be surprised what’s been posted.

Will my child be in a fun, encouraging and constructive environment or do the instructors yell and lose their temper?

All of the instructors at Wesley Chapel Jiu-Jitsu have been handed picked by Ryan Deichert and have many years working with children on and off the mat. 

Are the instructors experienced and what’s their lineage?
