Frequently Asked Questions About Jiu Jitsu and DOJO

+ How does learning Jiu Jitsu differ from learning other martial arts like Karate or taekwondo?

While many other martial art disciplines rely on strikes - punches and kicks - to defend or advance position, Jiu Jitsu utilizes grappling techniques to control an aggressor or opponent. Specifically, Jiu Jitsu teaches the student to be conscious of distance and shows students how to create or close distance in order to gain an advantageous position to defend oneself. By teaching students how to use leverage and body position, Jiu Jitsu is able to be widely adapted to people of all body types.
