In this program, the members are allowed to train 4+ days in the arts of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo.

What is Judo? Judo was developed in the 19th century from a number of jujitsu methods. Initially it was separated into two distinct practices, one for self-defense and one for physical conditioning. These days, judo is practiced mainly as a sport, which has competitions and tournaments worldwide. The main techniques of this art are throwing and grappling which include chokes, strangling skills and arm locks. Judo fighters spend much of their training in learning how to throw their opponents with minimal strength and how to transition from their throwing techniques into successful grappling positions.

What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? (BJJ), also known as Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (GJJ), is a martial art that was first developed in Brazil by the Gracie family during the mid-20th century. (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force an attacker to submit. Originally based on the Japanese Martial art of Judo as it existed before World War II, it has since developed into a relatively independent system with a large emphasis on ground fighting and grappling.
