We also want to provide a functional strength training facility where everyone – from jiu-jitsu athletes, everyday "joes", women, etc can get an realistic and functional workout that will improve their performance, bodies, and mental toughness.
Two Distinct and Complimentary Styles of Jiu-Jitsu
Kobukai Ju-Jitsu
A modern Japanese Style of Ju-Jitsu that’s main goal is to provide a simple yet brutally effective self-defense style of ju-jitsu.Brazilian Jiu-JItsu
A Brazilian Style of Jiu-Jitsu that focuses exclusively on the ground fighting and is generally trained for sportive events; but also is a very effective self-defense art as well.
When you train Kobukai and BJJ together – you have what I consider "pure" jiu-jitsu.
