It does not rely on physical strength and power. Using techniques of strikes, holds, locks, chokes, throws, and evasions, it employs mechanics though leverage and knowledge of human anatomy to overcome any attacker with minimal effort and strength. Jiu-Jitsu teaches self-confidence, improves self-esteem, relieves stress, and increases the ability to focus.

Including the Jiu-Jitsu to your routine will help you get in shape, gain confidence, and release stress, all while forming a network of like-minded people sure to motivate and inspire you. The Antara Jiu-Jitsu Academy not only excel in this great martial art, but offers a safe, friendly, and family-style atmosphere that many of our students consider their second home.

While other martial arts rely heavily on strength and speed, Jiu-Jitsu relies on superior technique and leverage.

Student safety is a primary concern during all our classes. The completion of the fundamentals curriculum reduces the possibility of injury to a minimal level. The practise of Jiu-Jitsu in our academy is safe and sound. Grand Master Helio Gracie’s teaching methods constantly emphasize the importance of keeping students out of harm’s way. Lack of seriousness during training and the resultant careless application of technique or counter-technique contribute greatly to injuries. Careless practise is disrespectful to the spirit of Jiu-Jitsu and is not tolerated in our academy.
