NO-GI BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU (BJJ)

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU CHANGED MARTIAL ARTS FOREVER!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) took the martial arts world by storm when a Brazilian named Royce Gracie defeated all on-comers in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, proving Jiu-Jitsu to be the most effective and realistic fighting system anyone had seen to date.

As the sport of MMA evolved, so did the techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. With new Athletic Commission regulations no longer allowing the use of the traditional BJJ uniform (called a Gi) in MMA fights, No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was born, allowing BJJ practitioners to train sport specific for MMA. Addressing the fact that most real fights end on the ground, No-Gi BJJ offers its participants the ability to defeat larger opponents through the application of various submissions including chokes, arm-locks, leg-locks and throwing techniques. If you don’t know Jiu-Jitsu, then you are not a complete martial artist!
 

LEARN FROM THE BEST!

In 1998, Toshido MMA Founder David Lea, opened the first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in Kelowna. Twelve years later, David became just the third person in the World to receive his No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt from 3rd Degree BlackBelt and UFC Legend, Chris Brennan.
