Receive gi & no-gi BJJ training for practical self-defense, physical fitness, and increased confidence.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu That Prepares You for Real Situations
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art focused on controlling and submitting an opponent through leverage, positioning, and technique. Most real-world altercations end up on the ground, making BJJ one of the most effective self-defense systems available.
Rather than relying on strength or size, BJJ teaches you how to:
Control distance and positioning
Neutralize larger or stronger opponents
Stay calm and methodical under pressure
This makes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu especially effective for young adults and adults looking for realistic self-defense while improving overall fitness.
Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Training
At Radius Martial Arts Academy, adults train in both Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, giving students a well-rounded grappling foundation.
Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Gi training emphasizes grips, control, and precision. It builds patience, technical awareness, and strong defensive habits.
No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
No-Gi training focuses on movement, transitions, and control without relying on clothing grips. As the only 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu school in Connecticut, our No-Gi program follows a modern, competition-tested system used worldwide.
Training in both formats allows students to adapt to different situations, rule sets, and self-defense scenarios.
