Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses mostly on grappling on the ground, or ground fighting, using leverage and applied techniques to overwhelm and submit your opponent. It is refined, and combat tested against many styles such as Kung-Fu, Karate, boxing, and various other styles. Even to this day, many fighters incorporate this style amongst their fighting arsenal due to its effectiveness as it can be mixed with any fighting style that focuses on striking. It is great for “the smaller guy” that may not be as strong as the opponent they face. It is also great for women as it helps women realize that they are stronger than they actually

About the Instructor: Devin Moultrie is a current Florida Atlantic student studying Electrical Engineering, as well as a five-year veteran of the United States Navy. He started his training in 2010, and holds his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
