Pedro Sauer Gracie Brazilian Jiu-jitsu

 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a highly effective and comprehensive system of standing and ground defense techniques utilizing rules of leverage . Many real-life examples show most street attacks will end up on the ground. This makes BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) an ideal martial art for these situations which demand simple, effective responses.

Individuals will be able to train realistically in a safe environment. And notwithstanding it’s self-defense potential, BJJ offers a tremendous workout emphasizing aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, making it enjoyable for women, men and children regardless of athletic ability. But the greatest advantage Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers is the ability for a smaller person to learn principles of leverage that will assist them in defending against or defeating a larger opponent.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s techniques were refined and innovated by Master Helio Gracie who weighed no more than 145 lbs. Master Gracie focused on using only techniques that involved the use of very little strength but emphasized leveraging and positioning the body to defend attacks and control a harmful situation.

We are a proud affiliate of the Pedro Sauer Jiu-Jitsu Association (www.pedrosauer.com). Professor Sauer is a Certified 5th degree Black Belt under Rickson Gracie and was voted as "Best of the Best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor" in a World-Wide Poll. Professor Sauer will be the Chief BJJ instructor at OSMA starting in September 2006!
