Brazilian Jiu Jiitsu

Here at Real World Martial Arts, we teach mixed martial arts with our specialty in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ is a cutting edge fighting art developed from traditional Jiu Jitsu by the Gracie family of Brazil. Even though Brazilian Jiu Jitsu contains standup techniques for winning a fight, it is famous for its devastating ground fighting techniques. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was specifically developed to allow a smaller person to defeat a larger person by sophisticated application of leverage and technique. Gaining superior position on your opponent and applying a myriad of chokes, holds, locks and joint manipulations becomes the foundation for this fun martial art.  Read more about the benefits of training at our academy.

Real World Martial Arts is an associate school of Team Renzo Gracie, the most successful jiu-jitsu team on the east coast. We routinely compete in tournament circuits such as NAGA and Grapplers Quest where team Renzo usually at the top of the podiums. Additionally, we regularly bring in some of the best instructors from Renzo's Academy such as Rolles Gracie Jr., Igor Gracie, Rafael "Gordinho" Correa, John Danaher, as well as others for exciting seminars and workshops.

Kickboxing

This is our new, modern approach to teaching stand-up self defense to our students. Students aren’t forced to respond in a rigid, robotic manner practicing dead patterns that may or may not have any real world self defense application. They will learn to throw kicks, punches, knees, and elbows with speed, power, and accuracy. They will also practice defending such techniques in a functional manner while progressively adding more resistance so students will gain confidence in defending themselves as well as providing an exciting workout from head to toe.

Real World Martial Arts Children's Programs

At Real World Martial Arts, we strive to teach our children the same well-rounded martial arts education that we give our adults, while developing important life skills such as confidence, respect, and self-discipline. For each age group, we have hand-picked specific martial arts techniques to keep safety as a high priority while at the same time maintaining the highest quality of martial arts available today.
