KnuckleUp Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program Is A Major Hit (BJJ Rocks)
The New Jiu Jitsu Program Introduces Students To The "Smooth Art"
Along with the winter schedule came a highly anticipated Jiu Jitsu program, and 2 weeks into the course, it's already creating newfound fans in the gym. BJJ classes have been getting more and more students that seem to enjoy both the mental and physical challenges created by this intelligent art.

The new program has been on the plans since August, but it wasn't until master Chris Stolzman arrived that it really took off. Stolzman is an renowned brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, having well over 9 years of experience in BJJ. He is getting ready to implement the official USA Jiu Jitsu curriculum this coming week, after testing each student's experience level.
Before, students would receive a challenging mix of Wrestling, Judo, and Jiu Jitsu instruction in a manner more consistent with MMA - wearing only rashguards and shorts - no special garment. The MMA instruction would extend beyond Jiu Jitsu to simulate a more realistic situation and to help students that had upcoming fights.
According to Chris, however, when BJJ is practiced without GI most of the technique is compromised because students get slippery from sweat very quickly. And contrary to popular belief, it does not prepare for real life situations because in the case of an altercation, participants would always be wearing clothes.
A great deal of students have already tried this brand new style and are getting used to wearing the GI (also called Kimono) during class. They also enjoy the powerful workout - BJJ works abs, arms, legs, and back - without high-impact of joint strain.
