Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association 

With the current explosion of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) sparked by the Ultimate Fighter Championships (UFC) and TV show (The Ultimate Fighter), there is a growing need for all Martial Arts Instructors to be able to offer some  type of Ground Fighting System to their existing and future students.

The Pedro Sauer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Association, which we represent, offers the Original Gracie Jiu-Jitsu system as created by Grand Master Helio Gracie (10^th Degree), and further polished by his son and legendary family Champion, Rickson Gracie (8^th Degree)  and  their direct student, Master Pedro Sauer  (8^th Degree).  This is the system which started the entire UFC  phenomenon by having GM Helio’s younger son, Royce, defeat several larger martial artists from various systems by forcing them to engage on the ground, where he utilized leverage to  defeat them all decisively, even though all were  accomplished Martial Artists who were larger than him.

Our Association is committed to spreading the Art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu so that everyone has access to a Self-Defense system  that will enable  them to be functionally proficient both on their feet and on the ground.  We want to spread the Art so that there is a school teaching this information within reach of any individual who would like to learn it.

Why add a grappling program to your school?

·         MMA is all over TV now, and everyone wants to learn how to fight on the ground.

·         The information is already out there; as Martial Artists we can not ignore this aspect of Self-Defense.

·         It helps your business by broadening your School’s offerings, while still maintaining a traditional martial art environment.

·         A Grappling program will also give your students an opportunity to grow and develop another dimension to their Martial Arts

Why choose BJJ?

·         It was developed for the street and proven in the Ring

·         It is the primary system of choice for MMA – there are no MMA athletes competing at a high level today who do not train in Jiu-Jitsu

·         It was developed by Helio Gracie specifically to enable the smaller person to survive attacks by larger individuals, so it is a great system for women and young people to learn to defend themselves from a larger opponent.

·         It is a Martial Art, which we teach with an emphasis on Respect and Discipline.

Why choose our association for BJJ?
