Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the fastest growing martial art in the world, known for its effectiveness when facing a bigger or stronger opponent on the ground.

Originally founded in Japan, Jiu-Jitsu eventually made its way into Brazil and then into the US - evolving and improving into the comprehensive pressure based attack system that we teach today. 

At MAFF, you will be taught in a group class setting and given the individual attention needed to stay safe and develop your own personal Jiu-Jitsu game.
