Blue Springs Jiu-Jitsu

As a member of our school, you are able to attend all of the classes that are available. For adults, your membership includes the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, Judo classes, and the Kali classes. Since each of these martial arts cover different types of fighting, we recommend that students become proficient in each of them.

At Blue Springs Jiu-Jitsu, we use a structured curriculum that makes it easy for our students to follow. We've broken down all of the techniques we teach into six positional sections: Mount, Side Control, Closed Guard, Open Guard, Back Control, and Leg Locks.

As this positional cycle progresses, we focus on various aspects of each position, including escaping tactics, control strategies, submission attacks, counters to submissions, and various others that are specific to each position.As the students attend both the Fundamentals and Advanced classes, they will follow this structure, which will assist the student in compartmentalizing the 500+ techniques that exist in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Judo was created by Dr. Jigoro Kano in 1882 which makes it a relatively modern martial art. Judo evolved into an Olympic Sport in 1964. This is the main focus of Judo today, taking an opponent down from standing to the ground. There are 67 throws in Judo with many variations in addition to those. These include throws with the hand, hip, and foot.
