Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is a self-defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting, and submission holds. Brazilian Jiu- jitsu approaches self-defense by emphasizing taking an opponent to the ground, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds. Taken from traditional Japanese jūjutsu, that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight
to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on submissions, sparring and live drilling become the most essential part of the training regime. This type of training allows practitioners to practice at full speed and with full strength, resembling the effort made in a competition. Training methods include drills in which techniques are practiced against a non-resisting and resisting partners; isolation sparring (commonly referred to as positional drilling) where only a certain technique or sets of techniques are used; and full sparring where each practitioner tries to submit their opponent through technique. Classes run approximately 1 hour with 1 hour of Open Mat (optional) afterwards.

Testimonials
I dropped in for a class at 20000 Leagues Jiu Jitsu when I was in the North Shore visiting family. Instruction is excellent, there's plenty of space, the mats are clean, and most importantly the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming! It's safe to say I'll be back whenever I'm in town.
-Patrick Russell
20,000 leagues is a great place to practice jiujitsu whether you’re just beginning or you have experience. Kurt, the instructor, does a great job making sure you understand what he’s teaching you and lets you get your reps in. Also a huge space to roll that they keep clean. Huge respect for getting me back into bjj after a year and a half off.
-Dan DeSouza
Kurt is extremely knowledgeable and an amazing coach. As a new member in the Jiu Jitsu community, Kurt made me feel so welcome.
