About Ahimsa Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that has evolved from Judo, Japanese Jiu Jitsu, and Catch Wrestling.
At Ahimsa Jiu Jitsu, we incorporate techniques from self-defense, ground fighting, and submission wrestling, including joint locks, chokes and throws.
There is a focus on breath and movement over individual moves, finding a flow state, and using leverage over strength.
Jiu Jitsu is often referred to as the gentle art and that is embodied here at Ahimsa Jiu Jitsu.
Ahimsa is an ancient Indian principle of non-violence, a respect for all living beings, and avoidance of doing harm to yourself or others.
At Ahimsa Jiu Jitsu, community is everything, and we take care of each other in Crested Butte on and off the mats.
