Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Training in Brooklyn

Control, Position, and Real Grappling Skill at Williamsburg MMA

Jiu-Jitsu:

Taught with Structure and Purpose

​

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not just about submissions. At its core, it’s about position, control, balance, and decision-making under pressure.

At Williamsburg MMA, Jiu-Jitsu is taught as a complete and independent grappling discipline. Students learn how to control space, manage resistance, and solve problems calmly on the ground and from standing positions that actually occur in real training.

​

This is Jiu-Jitsu taught for understanding, not shortcuts.

What Makes Our Jiu-Jitsu Program Different

Many Jiu-Jitsu programs focus on collecting techniques.
We focus on building capable grapplers.

Our Jiu-Jitsu training emphasizes:

  • Positional awareness and control

  • Balance and posture

  • Pressure and timing

  • Efficient movement, not scrambling

  • Calm decision-making under resistance

​

Students learn why positions work, not just what to do next. This creates Jiu-Jitsu that holds up under pressure and translates across styles.

Standalone Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes

Our standalone Jiu-Jitsu classes are designed for students who want to focus specifically on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

These classes emphasize:

  • Guard work and passing

  • Top and bottom control

  • Submissions with proper setup

  • Escapes and recovery

  • Rolling with structure and intent

​

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced student, Jiu-Jitsu is taught as a complete art, with attention to safety, progression, and long-term development.

Integrated Grappling Classes (Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and Wrestling)

In addition to standalone Jiu-Jitsu, we offer integrated grappling classes that combine:

  • Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

  • Judo

  • Wrestling (Greco-Roman, freestyle, and folkstyle)

​

These classes focus on:

  • Takedowns and standing grappling

  • Clinch control and balance

  • Transitions from standing to ground

  • Pinning, pressure, and positional dominance

​

Jiu-Jitsu does not disappear in this setting; it is reinforced. Students gain a deeper understanding of how grips, posture, and leverage carry across grappling styles.
